Statement–Argument — Should all infrastructural development projects be handed over to the private sector? Arguments: I) No; private entities are not equipped to handle such projects. II) Yes; in developed countries, private sector handles such projects. Choose the strong argument(s).

Introduction / Context:
“All” infrastructure handovers is an extreme policy. Strong arguments must be evidence-based and nuanced about capacity and regulation; both given arguments are sweeping generalizations.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Infrastructure delivery involves multiple models: public works, PPP, concessions, privatization.
• Capacity varies by sector and firm; blanket claims are suspect.
• International practice is mixed, not uniformly private.

Concept / Approach:
Argument I is weak: a categorical claim that private entities are “not equipped” ignores many proven cases. Argument II is weak: an appeal to “developed countries do it” oversimplifies; contexts/regulations differ and even developed nations use mixed models.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Stronger reasoning would weigh sectoral suitability, risk allocation, and regulatory capacity—not present here.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Awarding strength to either validates a sweeping generalization.

Common Pitfalls:
Using absolutes (“all/none”) in complex policy arenas.

Final Answer:
if neither I nor II is strong.
