Statement: Should education be made compulsory for all children up to the age of 14?
Arguments:

- Yes. This is an effective way to make the entire population educated.
- No. We do not have adequate infrastructure to educate the entire population.
- Yes. This would increase the standard of living.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, today's children are to make up future citizens of the country and so it is absolutely essential to make them learned, more responsible, more innovative and self-dependent by imparting them education. So, argument II holds strong while I and IV do not. Besides, the goal of literacy cannot be denied for want of infrastructure. So, argument III also does not hold.
