5.

Statement: Should trade unions be banned completely?

Arguments:

  1. Yes. Workers can concentrate on production.
  2. No. This is the only way through which employees can put their demands before the management.
  3. Yes. Employees get their illegal demands fulfilled through these unions.
  4. No. Trade unions are not banned in other economically advanced countries.

Only I is strong
Only II is strong
Only I and II are strong
Only I, II and III are strong
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, trade unions provide a common platform for the workers to voice their demands and protests and thus ensure that they are not subdued or exploited. So, argument II holds strong, while I and III do not. Besides, the idea of imitation of other countries in the implementation of a certain policy holds no relevance. So, argument IV also does not hold strong.

Yes. I agree with the answer B. But, there are also cases where the workers resort to strikes forcing the management to satisfy their needs which may be illegal too. I mean to say that we have seen the positive side of the situation and we need to consider the other side of the situation as well.
