-
Statement:
Should Indian scientists working abroad be called back to India?
Arguments:
I. Yes. They must serve the motherland first and forget about discoveries, honors, facilities and all.
II. No. It encourages the kidnappers to continue their sinister activities.
-
- if only argument I is strong
- if only argument II are strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong and
- if both I and II are strong.
Correct Option: A
Clearly, every person must be free to work wherever he wants and no compulsion should be made to confine one to one's own country. So, argument I is vague. However, talented scientists can be of great benefit to the nation and some alternatives as special incentives or better prospects may be made available to them to retain them within their motherland. So. argument II also does not hold.
