Question
Choose the strongest argument for the given question I. Only argument I is strong II. Only argument II is strong III. Either I or II is strong IV. Neither I nor II is strong V. Both I and II are strong Statement: should high chimneys be installed in industries Argument: I) yes, it reduces pollution at ground level II) No, it increases pollution in upper atmosphere
Solution
The strongest argument for the given question is "I. Only argument I is strong". This is because installing high chimneys in industries does indeed reduce pollution at ground level, which is where most people and wildlife are located and thus are most directly affected by pollution. While it's true that this might increase pollution in the upper atmosphere, the immediate benefits to health and the environment at ground level are generally considered more significant.
