  • Question

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. All the progressive nations do so.
    2. No. We cannot impart it in co-educational schools.
    3. Yes. It would certainly help in eradicating the existing misunderstanding and make the younger generation physically and mentally healthier.

  • Options
  • A. None is strong
  • B. Only I, III and IV are strong
  • C. Only II, III and IV are strong
  • D. Only II and IV are strong
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • None of these 

    Explanation
    Only II and III are strong. Clearly, the pursuance of a policy in India cannot be based on the pretext that it is followed in other countries because every country has its own environment and situations. So, argument I is vague. Also, imparting sex education in co-educational schools where boys and girls study together, could spoil the atmosphere there and hinder the studies. So, argument II is strong. However, sex education in schools can help students remove their misconceptions and doubts at a stage, when they would otherwise hesitate to discuss the same with others. Also, sex forms an integral part of the future life of the students and knowledge regarding the same, is nothing degenerative and shameful. So, argument III holds strong, while IV does not.
