Question
Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the assumptions is ‘strong’ assumption. Statement: Should there be dress code for college students? Assumptions: I. Yes, a dress code will bring unity and eliminate discrimination.II. No, dress code takes away the opportunity to showcase students’ style sense.a.Neither I nor II is strong.b.Only II is strong.c.Both I and II are strong.d.Only I is strong.
Solution
The answer is subjective and depends on the perspective of the person answering. However, if we consider the assumptions as 'strong' based on their potential impact and relevance, we could say:
Assumption I is strong because it suggests a positive outcome (unity and elimination of discrimination) that directly relates to the well-being of the students and the overall atmosphere in the college.
Assumption II could also be considered strong because it highlights a potential negative outcome (limiting students' self-expression) that is directly related to the personal freedom and individuality of the students.
So, the answer could be (c) Both I and II are strong.
