• B. only argument II is strong
• C. either I or II is strong
• D. neither I nor II is strong

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

neither I nor II is strong

Answer 2

Argument I : This argument seems misplaced as it references feature films and does not relate to the Public Distribution System (PDS) or the question at hand. It does not provide any relevant reasoning for scrapping the PDS.
Argument II : While it highlights an issue of corruption affecting the benefits received by the poor, it does not directly argue for scrapping the PDS. Instead, it suggests the need for reforms or measures to address corruption rather than abolishing the system altogether.

So, the correct option is (D): If neither I nor II is strong.
