Question and options
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.
Trusteeship concept of Gandhiji is
- applicable to economic life only
- applicable to social life only
- applicable to all fields of life
- irrelevant today
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - applicable to all fields of life
The last sentence of the passage says Gandhiji extended the concept of trusteeship to cover all fields of life. The passage starts from earnings, which may suggest economic life only, but the closing line widens it beyond economic or social life, and nothing calls it irrelevant today.
