  • Question
  • Statement: Should there be a complete ban on manufacture and use of firecrackers?

    Arguments:

    1. No. This will render thousands of workers jobless.
    2. Yes. The firecracker manufacturers use child labour to a large extent.
    3. Yes. This will be a concrete step to reduce noise and air pollution.
    4. No. Use of firecrackers makes certain special occasions more lively and joyful.


  • Options
  • A. Only I and II are strong
  • B. Only I and III are strong
  • C. Only III and IV are strong
  • D. Only I, II and III are strong
  • E. Only I, III and IV are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and III are strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, banning a product would surely render jobless the large number of workers involved in manufacturing it. Besides, firecrackers on burning produce explosive sounds and immense poisonous fumes, which cause both air and noise pollution. So, both arguments I and HI hold. However, to stop child labour, it is not necessary to close down the industry but strict laws against child abuse should be enforced and legal actions taken. Similarly, there are many other ways to make parties boisterous and special events enjoyable. Hence, II as well as IV does not hold strong.
