Correct answer: (D) Neither argument I nor II is strong
Argument I ("Yes, because community service sounds like a nice phrase.") is weak — it is a generalisation, an irrelevant point, or an emotionally loaded claim rather than a substantive reason. Argument II ("No, because jails are old buildings.") is weak — it does not substantively address the issue. So: Neither argument I nor II is strong.

सही उत्तर: (D) न तो तर्क I और न ही तर्क II सशक्त है
तर्क I ("हां, क्योंकि सामुदायिक सेवा एक अच्छा वाक्यांश लगता है।") कमजोर है — यह एक सामान्यीकरण, एक अप्रासंगिक बिंदु, या ठोस तर्क के बजाय एक भावनात्मक दावा है। तर्क II ("नहीं, क्योंकि जेलें पुरानी इमारतें हैं।") कमजोर है — यह मुद्दे को ठोस रूप से संबोधित नहीं करता। अतः: न तो तर्क I और न ही तर्क II सशक्त है।
