Statement: Should our country extend generous behaviour and goodwill to our erring and nagging neighbours?
Arguments:
- Yes. Goodwill always pays dividend.
- No. Our generous behaviour and goodwill will be considered as our weakness.
Answer: Option
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.
