Read the passage carefully and answer the question.
Passage II
Gandhiji recognised that, while all men should have equal opportunity, all did not have the same capacity. Some had the ability to earn more than others, but he believed that those who had talent would be performing the work of society if they used their talent wisely and well. Gandhiji said that he would allow a man of intellect to earn more and not suppress his talent. But it was his view that the bulk of his larger earnings should go to the common fund. Those with talent and opportunity would find their fulfillment as trustees. Gandhiji extended this concept of trusteeship to cover all fields of life.
Passage II
Gandhiji recognised that, while all men should have equal opportunity, all did not have the same capacity. Some had the ability to earn more than others, but he believed that those who had talent would be performing the work of society if they used their talent wisely and well. Gandhiji said that he would allow a man of intellect to earn more and not suppress his talent. But it was his view that the bulk of his larger earnings should go to the common fund. Those with talent and opportunity would find their fulfillment as trustees. Gandhiji extended this concept of trusteeship to cover all fields of life.
Gandhiji believed that a man of intellect should
- earn as much as he needs
- earn for others, not himself
- earn more and not suppress his talent
- live on charity
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - earn more and not suppress his talent
The passage says Gandhiji would allow a man of intellect to earn more and not suppress his talent, though the bulk of the larger earnings should go to the common fund. Earning only for others, or only as much as he needs, goes against his allowing the talented to earn more, and living on charity is not mentioned.
