Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Conclusion: Only the first argument follows.
Argument I: It states that objective tests are reliable. This is directly relevant and provides a clear reason in favor of using objective tests exclusively, so this argument follows.
Argument II: It claims the number of questions to be answered is always very large. This is not a reliable or relevant objection to using objective tests only (and the factual claim is questionable). Therefore this argument does not provide a valid reason against objective tests and does not follow.
Final decision: Only the first argument follows; the second does not.
