Question

Read the excerpt from "What Educated Women Can

Do" by Indira Gandhi. Here, she discusses India's
students being called to work in other countries.
But it is not all a one-sided business because there are
many who are persuaded and cajoled to go even when
they are reluctant. We know of first class students,
especially in medicine or nuclear energy for instance,
they are approached long before they have passed out
[of college] and offered all kinds of inducements to go
out. Now, that shows that people do consider that they
have a standard of knowledge and capability, which will
be useful any where in the world.
Which type of reasoning does Gandhi include in her
argument?
O abductive reasoning
O circular reasoning
O deductive reasoning
O inductive reasoning

Answer 1

The type of reasoning that Gandhi includes in her argument is inductive reasoning. She presents specific examples of first-class students in medicine and nuclear energy who are approached with job offers before even completing their studies. She uses these specific examples to draw a general conclusion that people consider the standard of knowledge and capability possessed by Indian students to be useful anywhere in the world.
