  • Question
  • Statement: Should girls learn arts like judo and karate?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. It will enable them to defend themselves from rogues and ruffians.
    2. No. They will lose their feminine grace.


  • 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
  • Only argument I is strong 

    Explanation
    Learning martial arts is necessary for girls for self-defence. So, argument I holds. However, argument II is vague since a training in these arts has nothing to do with their feminine grace.
