Question

Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's

poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton and

eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers. Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not

appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.

In this passage, 'a benevolent power interested in men's affairs' means

• A. A supernatural power of god
• B. Beauty of nature
• C. The spirit of science
• D. The total man

Answer 1

The correct option is A A supernatural power of god

The given passage mentions the scientific trait in Nehru that refused to believe in 'a benelovent power interested in men's affairs'

He was a self proclaimed non believer. The passage is talking about a higher power in which mankind believes and worships. So option A is the correct answer. A benelovent power interested in men's affairs is none other than a supernatural power of god.
