Choose the best option.Statement: Should public holidays be declared on demise of important national leaders ?Arguments:I. No, such unscheduled holidays hamper national progress.II. Yes, people would like to pay their homage to departed soul.
Correct Option: 1
Between the two arguments, Argument I is strong as it considers the practical economic impact of unscheduled holidays on national progress and productivity, while Argument II is weak as it is based purely on emotional sentiment that doesn't necessarily require a national holiday for expression - people can pay homage without disrupting national work. Therefore, only argument 1 is strong.
