Statement: Should children be legally made responsible to take care of their parents during their old age?

Arguments:

1. Yes. Such matter can only be solved by legal means.

2. Yes. Only this will bring some relief to poor parents.

  • 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

Both are weak for the same reason - each claims to be the only route. I asserts that only legal means can solve the matter, ignoring social, moral and financial approaches that already exist. II asserts that only this will relieve poor parents, ignoring pensions and welfare provision. An argument that overstates its own necessity in this way invites the counter-example that defeats it.
