Statement–Argument — Should the habit of classroom absenteeism be checked in educational institutions? Arguments: I. Yes. Otherwise the institute’s image in society will suffer. II. No. Checking absenteeism encroaches on individual liberty.

Introduction / Context:
Attendance policies should serve learning outcomes and duty-of-care, not reputational optics or absolute claims about liberty in institutional settings.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Institutions set reasonable rules to meet educational goals.
• Student liberty is balanced with curricular and safety requirements.
• Effective arguments should address learning or welfare directly.

Concept / Approach:
Evaluate whether each argument is relevant and sufficient. Reputation alone (I) is not a sound educational rationale; absolute liberty (II) ignores legitimate institutional interests.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I: Focuses on image rather than learning or welfare—weak.2) II: Treats any attendance control as encroachment, overlooking reasonable academic requirements—weak.3) Since both fail to address core educational grounds, “neither” is correct.

Verification / Alternative check:
Sound policies cite pedagogy (interaction, labs) and safety, not image or absolute liberty.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They assign undue strength to weak rationales.

Common Pitfalls:
Arguing from reputation or absolutist freedom without educational basis.

Final Answer:
if neither I nor II is strong.
