Statement & Arguments

Master this topic with zero to advance depth.

Introduction

In Statement and Arguments, a 'Statement' is given followed by two 'Arguments'. Arguments can be in favor (Yes) or against (No) the statement. Your task is to distinguish between 'Strong' and 'Weak' arguments.

Strong vs. Weak Arguments

Strong Arguments: These are logically sound, based on facts/surveys, and deal with important aspects of the situation. They should be desirable and universally relevant.
2. Weak Arguments: These are based on emotions, look-alike examples (superficial analogies), personal opinions, or are too ambiguous/vague.

Checklist for Strong Arguments

Ask yourself:
- Is it a proven fact or scientific truth?
- Does it lead to an improvement/welfare?
- Is it logically related to the statement?
- Does it avoid being just an emotional appeal?
