It is not often that professional footballers retire from internationals at the peak of their game. When the 29-year-old Lionel Messi, widely reckoned to be the most skilled footballer today, announced after the 2016 Copa America Final against Chile that he would not wear the Argentinian shirt again, he took everyone by surprise. It is not clear if he has made the retirement call in the heat of the moment. It came after Messi failed, yet again, to win a major title with the Argentinian team; he also missed a crucial penalty in the shootout against Chile after efficient but goal-less play in regulation and extra time. In fact, Messi’s overall international record with Argentina has been good, if not spectacular. With him, the team has reached the finals of four important tournaments: the World Cup in 2014 and the Copa America in 2007, 2015 and 2016. According to the given question, you have to decide which of the statement is/are strong on the basis of the given passage:-

After defeating in Copa America Final, Should Messi continues his international career for two years more?

I. Yes, because it is the only way he can prove himself to the world as a challenging person.

II. No, It is his personal decision to play no more for Argentina and as a player he gave a lot of contribution to his nation. So we should respect his decision.

III. No, because Messi’s record as a player of Barcelona is quite better than as a player of Argentina. So he should focus on one side rather than playing for both of them.

Only II & III are strong

Only I & III are strong

Only II is strong

Only III is strong

None is strong

It would not be expensive to manufacture home appliances that are energy-efficient.

Home-appliance manufacturers now have the technology to produce appliances that are twice as energy-efficient as those currently available.

The cost of energy to the consumer would rise with increases in the energy efficiency of home appliances.

None of these
