(a) a high standard of living, progress and privileges · (b) equal privileges, fulfilment of destiny and political tolerance · (c) spirit of adventure and economic parity · (d) hard work, brotherhood and national unity
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) कठोर परिश्रम, भाईचारा और राष्ट्रीय एकता
The passage opens with 'hard work ahead', calls all Indians, whatever their religion, equally the children of India, and warns that a narrow-minded people cannot make a great nation. Its challenge is hard work, brotherhood and national unity.
- ✗ (a) 'High standard' in the passage means living up to the country's greatness, not a standard of living; privileges are not held out as the goal.
- ✗ (b) Equal privileges are stated as something citizens already share, not as a goal; 'political tolerance' is not the passage's concern — it speaks against communalism and narrow thinking.
- ✗ (c) Neither a spirit of adventure nor economic parity is mentioned.
- ✓ (d) 'Hard work ahead' (hard work), 'equally the children of India' (brotherhood), and the rejection of communalism and narrow-mindedness (national unity).
