Question

The sentence has four underlined words or phrases. Choose the word or phrase that must be changed for the sentence to be correct.

Gandhiji lived a noble life of fasting and poverty in order to work for peaceful and independence.

• A. fasting
• B. poverty
• C. peaceful
• D. independence

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

peaceful

The given sentence talks about the life of Gandhiji. The sentence mentions he worked for 'independence' which is a noun. But, the other word that is used with it is 'peaceful' which is an adjective. So, the word 'peaceful' needs to be changed to its noun form which is 'peace' for the given sentence to be correct.

The other underlined words are 'fasting' and 'poverty' are also nouns and so options A and B are not the correct options. Option D) independence is a noun and is also the incorrect answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) peaceful.
