What did the narrator want to infer from the lines, 'Quelling occasional doubts, they had followed him on his improbable crusades to the improbable triumph now beckoning: independence wrested from the British by Gandhian non-violence'?
Answer: A
The followers overcame their doubts and followed him, and independence was wrested from the British by Gandhian non-violence. "Quelling" means putting down doubts, so they did follow him; options B and C reverse who snatched independence from whom, and C also says they did not follow him. Option D says independence was not snatched, which contradicts the line. The structure of the line is a participial phrase followed by the main clause: after quelling their doubts they followed him, and the triumph was independence wrested from the British, where wrested means taken by force or effort.
