Statement and Argument Q49

49.	Statement: Should public holidays be declared on demise of important national leaders? Arguments:        I.            No. Such unscheduled holidays hamper national progress.     II.            Yes. People would like to pay their homage to the departed soul.
	A. Only argument I is strong B. Only argument II is strong C. Either I or II is strong D. Neither I nor II is strong E. Both I and II are strong

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, unscheduled and untimely holidays would naturally cause the work to suffer. So, argument I holds strong. Also, a holiday is not necessary to pay homage to someone. So, argument II is vague.
