For Q.4 most support for the argument.

The Argument is that though the counterfeits of micro printed currency can be detected by the experts there is time lag before they are detected and thus the author advices to use the special ink so that any one can detect the counterfeits.

A) this suggests that anti counterfeiting cost will be reduced by opting for special ink technique and thus supports the argument.
B) keeping the methods of detection of the counterfeits secret is defeating the purpose of using the ink.
C) Increasing the number of steps during currency printing may or may not help any one to easily detect the counterfeits
D)doesn't weaken the argument
E) though this option says that many might not have access to advances in technology, which implies that such technology is available for few who can still produce acceptable counterfeits of micro printed currency


So my choice for the question is A


Q.5 Weakens the argument

A) Supports the argument as it takes longer to detect the counterfeits of micro printed currency
B) Directly attacks the argument by saying that some counterfeiters can produce counterfeits for currency
printed with a special ink while they cannot do so for the micro printed currency.
C)Again supports the argument saying that counterfeiting micro printed can be easily done with technological advances.
D)Doesn't weaken the argument
E)Doesn't weaken the argument


My choice would be B

Any other opinions are welcome, if provided with detailed explanation.

In my opinion A is the most logical one.
