Strengthening Of Argument such CR questions are widely present in NMAT and SNAP, a good pracitce on such questions is essential to get clear idea on how to solve them and one you get the approach it hardly takes a minute to solve them. Here are some quetions to practice -

Q.1 The domestic legal treatment of individual labour rights, which are clearly articulated but seldom enforced, reflects India’s blurry history with slavery. Article 23 of the 1949 Constitution of India outlaws both the trafficking of human beings and forced labour, but the legislation defining and banning bonded labour was only approved by Parliament in 1976. The Bonded Labour System Abolition Act of 1976 stipulates that the monitoring of labour violations and their enforcement are responsibilities of state governments.

Which of the following strengthens the given argument? 

(1) The main cause of bonded labour can be traced back to India’s history of slavery. 

(2) The role of the Indian government in implementing a ban on bonded labour is of utmost importance. 

(3) Japan, India’s competitor in the Asian continent, has reaped great rewards by imposing strict labour laws. 

(4) A ban on bonded labour will enhance India’s historical standing among its peers.

Q.2 No concrete justification has ever been presented for the claim that the right for homosexuals to marry would affect straight marriage negatively. Instead, this claim seems to be a cover for the religious and/or moral belief that gay marriage is wrong. One would think that individuals who oppose gay marriage on those grounds would ensure that their own children are brought up to believe in straight marriage and that therefore the existence of gay marriage would have no effect on them. On the other hand, heterosexual individuals who support gay marriage clearly think it presents no problem to their own marriages.

Which of the following, if true, strengthens the argument above?

 (1) With a divorce rate of 50%, celebrities divorcing and getting married four or more times, it’s clear that our society, as a whole, places misplaced importance on the meaning of marriage. 

(2) There is no correlation between the impacts of one kind of marriage on another kind of marriage as no empirical data exists to prove this. 

(3) Blacks have been given their rights, women have been given their rights, and deaf and mentally challenged people are not now seen as “mentally insane” or “animals”, it is about time homosexuals are given the right to marry. 

(4) Gay marriage, if anything, confirms the commitment value of marriage by providing an example of people who want to get married by choice and even if they have to overcome roadblocks.

Q.3 You may have heard of the current kerfuffle here in America about the sin of what is being called “cultural appropriation”. Some students at Bowdoin, a small liberal arts college in chilly Maine, were punished recently for wearing Mexican sombreros at a Mexican theme party. They had appropriated Mexican culture as a white person’s prerogative.

Which of the following options will best defend the punished students?

(1) Some other students in the party were dressed in Nazi costumes and were not punished. 

(2) “Cultural appropriation” is a vague concept.

(3) Everyone in the USA enjoys the freedom of speech. 

(4) “Cultural appropriation” is defined as demeaning another culture and sombreros are a symbol of Mexican pride.

1-Reviewing historical data, medical researchers in California found that counties with the largest number of television sets per capita have had the lowest incidence of a serious brain disease, mosquito-borne encephalitis. The researchers have concluded that people in these counties stay indoors more and thus avoid exposure to the disease.
 

The researcher’s conclusion would be most strengthened if which of the following were true?
 

(A) Programs designed to control the size of disease-bearing mosquito populations have not affected the incidence of mosquito borne encephalitis.
 

(B) The occupations of county residents affect their risk of exposure to mosquito-borne encephalitis more than does television-watching.
 

(C) The incidence of mosquito-borne encephalitis in counties with the largest number of television sets per capita is likely to decrease even further.
 

(D) The more time people in a county spend outdoors, the greater their awareness of the dangers of mosquito-borne encephalitis.
 

(E) The more television sets there are per capita in a county, the more time the average county resident spends watching television.



2-Sales taxes tend to be regressive, affecting poor people more severely than wealthy people. When all purchases of consumer goods are taxed at a fixed percentage of the purchase price, poor people pay a larger proportion of their income in sales taxes than wealthy people do.
 

It can be correctly inferred on the basis of the statements above that which of the following is true?
 

(A) Poor people constitute a larger proportion of the taxpaying population than wealthy people do.
 

(B) Poor people spend a larger proportion of their income on purchases of consumer goods than wealthy people do.
 

(C) Wealthy people pay, on average, a larger amount of sales taxes than poor people do.
 

(D) The total amount spent by all poor people on purchases of consumer goods exceeds the total amount spent by all wealthy people on consumer goods.
 

(E) The average purchase price of consumer goods bought by wealthy people is higher than that of consumer goods bought by poor people.


3-To entice customers away from competitors, Red Label supermarkets have begun offering discounts on home appliances to customers who spend $50 or more on any shopping trip to Red Label. Red Label executives claim that the discount program has been a huge success, since cash register receipts of $50 or more are up thirty percent since the beginning of the program.
 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the claim of the Red Label executives?
 

(A) Most people who switched to Red Label after the program began spend more than $50 each time they shop at Red Label.
 

(B) Most people whose average grocery bill is less than $50 would not be persuaded to spend more by any discount program.
 

(C) Most people who received discounts on home appliances through Red Label’s program will shop at Red Label after the program ends.
 

(D) Since the beginning of the discount program, most of the people who spend $50 or more at Red Label are people who have never before shopped there and whose average grocery bill has always been higher than $50.
 

(E) Almost all of the people who have begun spending $50 or more at Red Label since the discount program began are longtime customers who have increased the average amount of their shopping bills by making fewer trips.



4-Throughout the 1950’s, there were increases in the numbers of dead birds found in agricultural areas after pesticide sprayings. Pesticide manufacturers claimed that the publicity given to bird deaths stimulated volunteers to look for dead birds, and that the increase in numbers reported was attributable to the increase in the number of people looking.
 

Which of the following statements, if true, would help to refute the claim of the pesticide manufacturers?
 

(A) The publicity given to bird deaths was largely regional and never reached national proportions.
 

(B) Pesticide sprayings were timed to coincide with various phases of the life cycles of the insects they destroyed.
 

(C) No provision was made to ensure that a dead bird would not be reported by more than one observer.
 

(D) Initial increases in bird deaths had been noticed by agricultural workers long before any publicity had been given to the matter.
 

(E) Dead birds of the same species as those found in agricultural areas had been found along coastal areas where no farming took place.
