  • Options
  • A. Only II and IV are strong
  • B. All are strong
  • C. Only III is strong
  • D. Only II and III are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III is strong 

    Explanation

    Clearly, a 'person commuting a heinous crime like murder or rape should be so punished as to set an example for other not to attempt such acts in future. So, argument III holds strong. Argument I is vague while the use of the word 'only' in argument II makes it weak. Also, it cannot be assured whether a criminal is really repentant of his acts or not, he may also exhibit so just to get rid off punishment. So, argument IV also does not hold.
