Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: if both I and II are strong
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Education serves a public mission. Arguments are strong if they connect to obligations of care and measurable student outcomes. Here, both arguments defend a ban and must be assessed for relevance and sufficiency.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Ethics (professional duty) and impact (student harm) are independent, policy-relevant strands. If each strand stands on its own, both arguments are strong together.
Step-by-Step Solution:
I (Ethics): Professions entrusted with minors and public funds are held to continuity of service; withdrawing service harms dependents. Strong.II (Impact): Empirical harm—lost instruction time, preparation gaps—directly supports a ban. Strong.
Verification / Alternative check:
Some may argue for limited collective action with safeguards. That does not nullify the strength of I and II as stated.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Either” understates that both are independently strong.
Common Pitfalls:
Ignoring student externalities when assessing labor actions in essential services.
Final Answer:
Both I and II are strong.
