Option A

Option D
11.
Option A
A peace-loving nation like India can well join an international forum which seeks to bring different nations on
friendly terms with each other. So, argument I holds strong. Argument II highlights a different aspect. The
internal problems of a nation should not debar it from strengthening international ties. So, argument II is
vague.
12.
Option B
An organization like UNO is meant to maintain peace all over and will always serve to prevent conflicts
between countries. So, its role never ends. So, argument I does not hold. Also, lack of such an organization
may in future lead to increased mutual conflicts and international wars, on account of lack of a common
platform for mutual discussions. So, argument II holds
13.
Option B
Clearly, imposing ban on fashionable dresses will be a restriction on the personal choice and hence the right to
freedom of an individual. So, only argument II is strong.
