Hence, teaching children to have an ambition and cultivating it over the course of time prepares them for the outside world.

This is something that must be done on a consistent basis, given how limited our freshwater supplies are on our planet. It is only our responsibility to make sure that subsequent generations have access to an adequate amount of water.

There is a deeper connection between democracy and the climate crisis.

Understanding the link between democracy and the climate crisis is one of the major steps in approaching realistic climate action and intervention.
Which of the following statements, if true, strengthens the argument above?
Socioeconomic status does not directly influence children’s reception of studying and education. If we teach children to view hardship and deprivation as motivation for achievement, then they are more likely to achieve their goals through the application of hard work, patience, and effort. In addition, a child’s socioeconomic status is not a factor in their ability to achieve success; rather, the decisions they make are what prevent them from receiving a good education.
Which of the following statements, if true, weakens the argument above?
Marine sanctuaries are an efficient tool for controlling fishing efforts, protecting the breeding of juvenile fish species, preventing overfishing, and ensuring a sustainable supply of fish stock. These objectives can be accomplished by limiting access to certain areas of the ocean. Studies have shown that a reef ecosystem that is protected and measures one square kilometre can produce up to thirty tons of fish on an annual basis. Marine sanctuaries have become a necessary conservation tool.

People’s participation in a democracy is non-essential. Although it’s possible that the people voted for their political leaders, it’s not necessary to question whether or not they’re doing a competent job because the work they’re doing is already sufficient. Therefore, people’s participation is not an essential component of democracy because supporting your leader is synonymous with safeguarding and respecting your right to vote in elections.

Despite its small size, this vast and ancient land is home to more than half of its species only in this one specific region.

A staggering 93.9% of the 120.4 million people who currently work in the value chains of capture fisheries do so in small-scale fisheries. Small-scale fisheries account for the majority of these jobs.

Addressing these issues requires increased awareness on the root issues.

Sepsis is a syndrome or collection of symptoms that are primarily brought on by a bacterial infection. It happens when the body begins to harm its own tissues while fighting an infection. This may result in organ damage and a sharp drop in blood pressure. These complications become more dangerous when women who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are at risk of having sepsis. Therefore, hospitals should be equipped with proper facilities to address the risk of sepsis as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?

In order to prevent this problem, vaccines should not be used on children but only on adults.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
One Sydney high school made headlines for prohibiting cell phones during class hours. This follows the global trend of banning cell phones to prevent bullying and disengagement from class.

We must therefore fix the issues of bullying from the root and not by blaming cell phones.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument about prohibition of cell phones during class?
Australia currently lacks nurses engaged in the care of the elderly. To address this issue, legislators have proposed the use of virtual nurses or artificial intelligence to interact with and monitor the conditions of the elderly. These nurses, though programmed, can act as substitutes for the dwindling population of nurses in aged care. Since the overall health of our older citizens is of utmost importance, we should definitely switch to these virtual nurses.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
Peer review is a crucial component of contemporary study. Experts carefully examine the facts, research, and arguments before new work is published in an academic journal to make sure they are credible.

It can be cumbersome, opaque, and cliquish, and it relies on the volunteer labour of academics who are already overburdened.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?
Depositing money in banks is often advertised as a good way of keeping your money safe and how it could also act as a means of passive income. Unfortunately, this type of advertising conveniently leaves out a lot of very important information such as the fact that banks could declare bankruptcy at some point in time. This means that the money you’ve deposited could possibly be lost forever. We should therefore not deposit money in banks.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
Broccoli is a nutritious vegetable that provides a lot of health benefits for those who consume it such as Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium, and other minerals.

Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
Social Media companies should be made accountable for the existence of troll farms which certain entities use to spread disinformation.

In worst cases, these troll farms could bring tangible harm to individuals by causing confusion regarding vaccines, diseases, and other matters concerning health and safety.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?
Governments should develop a system that would create an abundance of food for birds in the wild. This is done since, in recent years, migration has become more challenging for animals due to worsening weather conditions and the industrialization of forests. In doing so, we can hope that birds no longer have to migrate and endure the harsh conditions of travelling long distances.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
Protecting specific species plays a major role in the preservation of biodiversity. There are some predators that limit the consumption of other predators which, in turn, prevents the population of other species from decreasing. Unfortunately, human activities have affected the population of these ‘apex’ predators and have caused the disruption of this sensitive balance. Society should address this by creating projects that help the environment.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?
The trade of fake art is a major problem in Australia, particularly those artworks related to indigenous people. These ‘fake art’ are crafted bearing similar features or having resemblance to those artworks made by real first nation people, marketed to the public, and sold without the artistic integrity or consent of the first nation people. Due to these exploitative business models, we need to develop a system where fake art is no longer prevalent.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?
Coffee is a drink that is consumed for its caffeinating properties. In recent years, coffee has all the more been propelled into the mainstream market due to the rise of trends that glorify coffee consumption. This has even led to an increase in adolescents that consume coffee. Upon conducting interviews, these adolescents enjoy drinking coffee because it makes them feel energised. They should therefore be allowed to consume coffee as much as they want.
Which of the following statements, if true, best weakens the argument above?
Janitors and street-sweepers do some of the most important jobs in society. They ensure that the community is clean and free from hygiene-related hazards. Oftentimes, they have to be in contact with substances that could also harm their health, but they do it anyway. With these sacrifices in mind, we should ensure that these workers receive a justified wage and other necessary benefits from employers.
Which of the following statements, if true, best strengthens the argument above?
Deliberately burning Savannahs in Australia is one of the country’s means of clearing land areas and giving way for industrialisation. In some areas, these cleared Savannahs also allow first nation communities to establish their farmlands and other means of livelihood. Moreso, burning these Savannahs deals little to no damage to other entities. Therefore, we should keep burning Savannahs with the current methods and rates.
