Statement: Should all the legislators be forced to resign from their profession? Arguments: Yes. They will be able to devote more time for the country. No, nobody will contest election.

Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong

Correct Answer: Only argument I is strong

Explanation:

The legislators should surely not be engaged in any other profession because only then will they be able to work with devotion. So, argument I holds. Also, if such a law is enforced, only those people will contest elections who are really prepared to work for the country. So, argument II is vague.
