2)A child's most critical years with regards to physical, intellectual, social and emotional development are those before he reaches five years of age.

3)Development will be handicapped as long as women remain second-class citizens.

4)In the advanced countries of the world, women are regarded as first-class citizens, but in developing countries they are third-rate citizens.✓ Correct

Option 4 is the correct answer because passages about development and women generally do not make extreme, unsupported claims like dividing women into first-class in advanced countries and third-rate in developing ones; the others are standard sociological assertions usually found in such texts.
