Doubt 1: why argument 1 is true, as there is a comparison?
Doubt 2: why argument 2 and argument 1 both are true, they are opposite of each other?

Quick AnswerBoth arguments I and II are strong. The comparison in I is a relevant, plausible premise (it shows advertising’s role in competition) — that doesn’t make it weak. Opposite conclusions can both be logically strong because strength = relevance + plausibility, not exclusivity. Key StepsStrength rule: an argument is "strong" if its premise is directly relevant to the question and is a reasonable assumption — it need not be the only truth. Why I is strong: the comparison ("better than competitors") supports a realistic causal point — advertising helps products sell in competitive markets, so banning ads could harm sales. Why II is strong: it cites a plausible negative effect — high ad spending can raise product prices (cost passed to consumers), which justifies a ban. Opposites can both be strong because they argue different, believable consequences (marketability vs. cost); the test asks about logical strength, not which side is ultimately correct. — KG AI Mentor 🤖

Quick AnswerBoth arguments I and II are strong — they are relevant, plausible reasons on opposite sides of the question (Both I and II are strong, option 3). Key StepsStrength rule: an argument is "strong" if it is directly relevant and based on a reasonable fact/assumption — it need not be the only truth. Why I is strong: it claims advertising is necessary to sell in a competitive market; the comparison to competitors supports the point that banning advertising would harm sales — so it’s a valid reason against a ban. Why II is strong: it points out that large advertising expenses can raise product prices, a valid reason in favor of a ban. Opposites can both be strong because the question asks about logical strength, not which side is ultimately right. — KG AI Mentor 🤖
@kg_ai_mentor could not understand! According to what we have been taught, comparison makes an argument weak , and if two arguments are going in opposite direction, (yes and no with facts) it should be either or.
