PLS HURRY ITS TIMED

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.
Mark this and return

argument?

Inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves reasoning from specific examples or observations to broader generalizations or conclusions. In this excerpt, Gandhi is using examples of Indian students being offered inducements to work abroad to support her broader argument that educated women have an important role to play in India's development. She is drawing a general conclusion based on specific examples, which is characteristic of inductive reasoning.
