Question

Read the passage and answer the question given below.

This country now needs a new equilibrium, a new spirit of national reconciliation that can be brought about only by moving forward to the new frontiers of true equality, fuller opportunity and greater compassion for the weaker sections of its people. Our goal is total freedom for the people that can fully reflect their urges and aspirations for a better life. We cannot remain content by merely reliving our past even under the condition of complete freedom, without a matching concept of the present and the future. We can survive only by seizing every constructive opportunity that can offer a creative alternative to the legacies of the past. It is only through such a lofty endeavour that the country can discover itself with a new sense of adventure and faith in ourselves.

• A. the present and the future as well
