Passage

We have hard work ahead. There is no resting for any of us till we redeem our pledge in full, till we make all the people of India what destiny intends them to be. We are citizens of a great country, on the verge of bold advance, and we have to live up to that high standard. All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India with equal rights, privileges and obligations. We cannot encourage communalism or narrow-mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought or action.

Question

The challenge the author of the above passage throws to the public is to achieve

Explanation

Option A is Incorrect. The passage emphasizes hard work and living up to a high standard, but it does not directly mention a "high standard of living" or focus on material progress and privileges.

Option B is Incorrect. While the passage mentions equal rights and obligations, the focus is more on national unity and brotherhood, not specifically on political tolerance or the fulfilment of destiny as standalone goals.

Option C is Incorrect. The passage does not refer to a "spirit of adventure" or "economic parity." The themes are centred on unity and overcoming narrow-mindedness, not economic equality.

Option D is correct. The passage explicitly mentions "hard work," rejects communalism and narrow-mindedness (promoting brotherhood), and emphasizes national unity. This aligns directly with the challenge posed by the author.
