Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if only argument I is strong.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Host-intimation rules aim to assist basic verification and rapid contact during emergencies. The policy question is whether security benefits outweigh civil-liberty risks and administrative frictions.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Argument I is strong: it identifies a legitimate public-safety interest and a proportionate tool (intimation, not pre-approval). Argument II raises an important caution but does not argue for withdrawal; it argues for better safeguards. As framed, it is weaker for the binary “withdraw/retain” decision.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Many jurisdictions require basic information for foreign guests in hotels and rentals; analogous host notifications support rapid tracing.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Either/Neither” misread II as decisive; “Only II” ignores security proportionality.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming the only remedy for misuse is repeal rather than procedural safeguards.
Final Answer:
if only argument I is strong.
