  • 1None is strong
  • 2Only I and II are strong
  • 3Only III is strong
  • 4All are strong
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Clearly, illiterate people lack will power and maturity in thoughts. They may easily be misled into false convictions or lured into temptations to vote for a particular group. So, argument II holds. However, a person is literate does not mean that he is conscious of all political movements, which requires practical awareness of everyday events. Thus, I also holds strong. Besides, Constitution has extended the right to vote equally to all its citizens. Hence, III also holds.
