  • Question
  • Statement: Should our country extend generous behaviour and goodwill to our erring and nagging neighbours?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. Goodwill always pays dividend.
    2. No. Our generous behaviour and goodwill will be considered as our weakness.


  • Options
  • A. Only argument I is strong
  • B. Only argument II is strong
  • C. Either I or II is strong
  • D. Neither I nor II is strong
  • E. Both I and II are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Both I and II are strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, a good behaviour may at some point of time lead to mutual discussions and peaceful settlement of issues in the long run. So, argument I holds strong. However, such behaviour may be mistaken for our weakness and it would be difficult to continue with it if the other country doesn't stop its sinister activities. Hence, II also holds.
