  • Question

  • Statement: Should all the youngsters below 21 years of age be disallowed from going to a beer bar?

    Arguments:

    1. No. It is not correct to prevent matured youngsters above 18 years of age who can vote, from having fun.
    2. Yes. The entry fee to such pubs should also be hiked.
    3. No. There is no such curb in western countries.
    4. Yes. This will help in preventing youngsters from getting into bad company and imbibing bad habits.


  • Options
  • A. Only I is strong
  • B. Only I and III are strong
  • C. Only III and IV are strong
  • D. Only I and IV are strong
  • E. None is strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and IV are strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, our Constitution considers youngsters above 18 years of age, mature enough to exercise their decisive power in Government by voting. This implies that such individuals can also judge what is good or bad for them. Thus, argument I holds strong. However, at such places, youngsters may be lead astray by certain indecent guys and swayed from the right path into bad indulgences. So, IV also holds strong. Hiking the entry fees is no way to disallow them, and also the idea of imitating the western countries holds no relevance. So, neither II nor III holds strong.
