I think either Or can be the answer as yes or no at same time is no possible. If one statement is true and at the same time another one is also true. Both are having yes and no types of arguments then the answer will be either 1 Or 2.

Can anyone explain me the difference between "either I Or II is strong " And "both I and II are strong".

Both arg 1 and arg 2 are both strong. But the problem exists in choosing the correct option, as basically in this sort of question the option is either 1 or 2, but here it is given both. In my opinion, both the argument have different direction respectively. Both are practically possible.

I think none of the statements is addressing the real reason of unionisation in a college. The purpose is to stand up for the problems faced by the students. The two options are valid but not strong.

So, what if the political environment is established in the campus, it has nothing to do with education. Hence, I think statement 1 is weak.

The answer provided for this question is a bit narrow.

I think that students unions play a major role in helping solve problems faced by other students to make sure to build a vibrant student community.

Argument 1: Only Mentions it will lead to form political environment, but doesn't link how? Certainly, there is a reasonable doubt. So Argument 1 doesn't follow.

Argument 2: Provides an established fact, that the students are/will be future political leaders. But again it doesn't directly link to setting up of the student union.

Both the arguments are WEAK.

Actually, if the QUESTION / STATEMENT have been put up like - Should elections be held among students in college/university?

Arguments 1 & 2 may had followed!

@ALL.

If anybody wants to be a politician there is no need of gain political experience in college. Politician means to serve the people by heart either in a state or country. PM Modi says think to do something rather than thinking of achieving something. If students gain political experience in colleges to do politics in future rather than thinking of serving the people. There is no need of such politicians. Thus arg 2 is not correct. Students unions are generally made to manage and reach student's problem or opinion to the college authority by the union leader. But now many of the universities do politics by group separation or division.

So that disturbances happen in studies and college environment is fully disturbed. So I think argument 1 is fully correct.

I have seen during my graduation. What type of environment is created between the college students. So, in my view option 1 is correct. Because it divides them into groups. Which harms their future also.
