Statement and Argument: Statement: Should children be prevented completely from watching television? Arguments (I) No. We get vital information regarding education through television. (II) Yes. It hampers the study of children. (Ill) Yes. Young children are misguided by certain programs featuring violence.
Correct answer: B. Only I is strong
- A. Only I, II, and Ill are strong
- B. Only I is strong
- C. Only I and II are strong
- D. Only I and III are strong
Explanation
Clearly, television offers various educational programs which are of great practical value to the students. So, it serves as a means (but it is not the 'only' means) to educate the masses. Thus, I holds strong. Besides, the demerits of watching television, mentioned in II and III, may be done away with by allowing children to watch selected programs on television, according to a set schedule. So, neither II nor III hold strong.
