A sentence is missing in the paragraph given below. Decide in which blank (i.e., 1, 2, 3 or 4) the following sentence would fit best.

Sentence:

Nay, education would even help them in the performance of the narrowest sphere of womanly duty.

Paragraph:

It is the height of selfishness for men, who fully appreciate in their own case the great advantages of a good education, to deny these advantages to women. (1). There is no valid argument by which the exclusion of the female sex from the privilege of education can be defended. (2). It is argued that women have their domestic duties to perform and that if they were educated, they would bury themselves in their books and have little time for attending to the management of their households. (3). But women are no more liable to this temptation than men and most women would be able to do their household work all the better for being able to refresh their minds in the intervals of leisure with a little reading. (4). For, education involves knowledge of the means by which health may be preserved and enables a mother to consult such modern books as will tell her how to rear up her children into healthy men and women and skillfully nurse them when disease attacks her household.
