Solution

Determine the logically valid inference from the job advertisement text.

  1. The job announcement calls for 'persons for the post of Field Interviewer' and lists neutral educational and availability qualifications without any distinction of sex or gender.

  2. Because the advertisement uses gender-neutral language and does not restrict applicants based on gender, the best and most accurate inference is that the advertisement is 'Not gender-discriminatory'.

  3. Hence, Option (D) is correct.

Final answer

D
