Question

Read the excerpt from "What Educated Women Can Do” by Indira Gandhi.

So, when you lead a life, a particular kind of life, your clothes, your everything has to fit into that life if you are to be efficient. If you have to go in the villages and you have to bother whether your clothes are going to be dirty, then you cannot be a good worker. You have to forget everything of that kind. That is why, gradually, clothes and so on have changed in some countries because of the changes in the life-style. Does it suit our life-style or what we want to do or not? If it does, maybe we have to adopt some of these things not merely because it is done in another country and perhaps for another purpose. But what clothes we wear is really quite unimportant. What is important is how we are thinking.

Which statement best explains the effectiveness of Gandhi’s argument in this excerpt?

It is effective because she supports her claim with evidence that people can relate to.
It is effective because she uses reasoning to draw a specific con

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that best explains the effectiveness of Gandhi's argument in this excerpt is:

It is effective because she uses reasoning to draw a specific con. As she says that we lead a particular life we have to fit in that to be efficient for that we have to be dressed like that and follow our life according to that. and if we are visiting a village people there are carefree they live their life according to their needs and if we bother that going there would make our clothes dirty then we couldn't be good workers as our achievements are because of the hard work that we put in nor the clothes that we wear.

She also says that we have to forget all the extra things that would come in our way of thinking and this is the reason some countries have changed their dressing styles because of their change in lifestyle. According to her what is important is what we are thinking n not what we wear.

The reasons that she gave explain the best of Gandhi's effectiveness.
