Statement: Should there be students union in college/university? Arguments: I.…

Concept: In a Statement-and-Argument question, an argument is judged strong only if it is directly relevant to the statement and rests on a real, practical consideration, not a vague, trivial, or purely emotional claim. A strong argument for a proposal and a strong argument against it can both hold at the same time; accepting one does not require rejecting the other.

Application: Argument I says a students' union will create a political atmosphere on campus, a genuine and directly relevant practical concern about the specific proposal, so it is strong. Argument II says a union is necessary because students are future political leaders, which directly ties the proposal to real leadership development, so it too is strong. Since each argument rests on its own relevant, substantive ground, both hold independently.

• Only argument I is strong ignores that Argument II's leadership-development point is equally relevant and substantive.

• Only argument II is strong ignores that Argument I's political-atmosphere concern is equally relevant and substantive.

• Either I or II is strong wrongly treats the two arguments as mutually exclusive, when each stands on its own independent merit.

• Neither I nor II is strong wrongly dismisses both, though neither argument is vague or superficial.

Hence, both arguments hold strong, and the correct choice is the option stating that both I and II are strong.
