  • Question

  • Is the Government justified in spending so much on defence? Arguments: I. Yes. Safety of the country is of prime importance. II. No. During peace, this money could be used for the development of the country.


  • Options
  • A. Only argument I is strong
  • B. Only argument II is strong
  • C. Neither I nor II is strong
  • D. Both I and II are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only argument I is strong 

    Explanation

    Clearly, defence is necessary for the safety of the country, which is of prime importance. So, argument I holds. Also, a country can concentrate on internal progress and development only when it is safe from external aggressions. So, argument II does not hold.

The shows transform waitresses, hairdressers, investment bankers, counselors, and teachers, to name a few, from obscure figures to house-hold names.
