Statement: Should taxes on colour television be further increased?

Arguments:

1. Yes, Colour television is a luxury item and only rich people buy them.

2. No, Televisions are bought by the poor too

  • 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: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II is strong

Argument 1 rests on a premise no longer true - colour television is not confined to the rich. Argument 2 states that the poor buy them too, but that alone does not settle what the rate should be. Neither is strong.
