Statement: Should women be given equal opportunity in the matter of employment in every field?

Arguments:

  2. No. They have to shoulder household responsibilities.
  3. Yes. They should also go into the outside world.

Only I is strong
Only I and II are strong
Only II and III are strong
Only I and III are strong
All are strong
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In present times, women are being imparted education at par with the men and are capable of competing with them in all professions and fields. So, argument I holds. Also, women cannot be confined to the household and kept away from the challenges of the outside world against their will. They too have the right to be self-dependent. Besides, present-day women are well looking to outside jobs together with the household jobs. So, argument III holds while II does not.

I think argument III is NOT STONG because it states that yes, they should also go outside world but do not provide a reason for saying yes to the statement, so it should be weak.
