Read the following statements and decide about the arguments.Statement: Does Pakistan need so many plans for development?Arguments:_ I. Yes. Nothing can be achieved without proper planning.II. No. Too much time, money and energy is wasted on planning.
Correct answer: A. Only I is true
- A. Only I is true
- B. Only II is true
- C. Either I or II is true
- D. Neither I nor II is true
Explanation
Argument I states that proper planning is essential for achieving development objectives, which is a strong argument. It highlights the necessity of having a clear direction and allocation of resources, which is fundamental in any development program. On the other hand, argument II suggests that planning is a waste of resources, which is a flawed perspective. Effective planning not only helps in utilizing resources efficiently but also guides the implementation process. Therefore, the correct answer is that only argument I is valid. The other options are incorrect as they either misinterpret the necessity of planning or disregard the validity of argument I.
