Question
In the question given below, a passage is given
followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Prenatal exposure to male hormones influences which activities girls are interested and engage in, but the effects of those hormones don't extend to the gender they identify with or who they socialise with. This bolsters the idea that gender identity development is a complex process that does not rely on biological factors.Note:- Prenatal refers to before birth during pregnancy. 1. Prenatal exposure to male hormones comes under biological factors. 2. Prenatal exposure to male hormones increase the chances that a girl will identify with the female gender. 3. Gender identity includes the gender that one relates oneself with and with whom one socializes.Solution
The premise tells us that prenatal exposure to male hormones influences the activities girls might be interested in, but do not influence the gender girls identify with or whom they socialize with. The argument then goes on to say that this strengthens the idea that gender identity does not rely on biological factors. From this, we can infer that prenatal exposure to male hormones is a biological factor. Thus, 1 follows. We can also infer that the conception of gender identity includes these two factors - the gender one identifies with and whom one socializes with. Thus, 3 can also be inferred. Thus, (b) is the right answer.2 cannot be inferred as the premise does not support this claim; it only tells us that it does not influence the gender they identify with. This does not imply that girls identify with the female gender more if exposed prenatally to male hormones.
