What does the maxim mentioned in the passage teach us?
Answer: D
The key gives To be active in life and do something to help mankind.
The passage says the real purpose of the maxim is to tell us 'to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life' and to face new situations with a creative mind. Option D is the only one about being active. The words 'to help mankind' are not in the passage, so D is the best fit and not an exact restatement.
The passage says we should not remain 'slaves of old habits', so option B, being slaves of our needs and wants, is the opposite of its advice. Creating new desires (C) is what the inner spirit warns against, and 'worldly in the strict sense' (A) is not what the passage recommends.
