21.
Statement: Should all the students graduating in any discipline desirous of pursuing post-graduation of the subjects of their choice be allowed to enrol in the post-graduate courses?
Arguments:
- Yes. The students are the best judge of their capabilities and there should not be restrictions for joining post-graduate courses.
- No. The students need to study relevant subjects in graduate courses to enrol in post-graduate courses and the students must fulfil such conditions.
- No. There are not enough institutes offering post-graduate courses which can accommodate all the graduates desirous of seeking post-graduate education of their own choice.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Only argument II is strong. The students cannot be enrolled in the courses just on the basis of their interests, but their compatibility with the same also matters. So, I does not hold. Besides, lack of institutes is no criteria to deny post-graduate courses to students. So, argument III also does not hold. II provides a genuine reason and thus holds strong.

Because only II is a strong argument, which matches with option E (no option referred only II is strong) but options A does not. (not none is strong).

What is the difference between none is strong (choice A) and none of these (Choice E)?
