Statement: Should religion be taught in our schools?

Arguments: I. No. Ours is a secular state.

II. Yes. Teaching religion helps inculcate moral values among children.

A) All are strong

B) None is strong

C) Only I is strong

D) Only II is Strong

E) Only I and III are strong

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Ours is a secular state does not mean that religion and religious.values should be eradicated. In fact; these inculcate moral values. So, argument I is vague while argument II is strong. Also, teaching religion can in no way hinder the student's capability to face the challenges of the 21st century
