What did the narrator want to infer from the line, 'Partition, he argued, risked unleashing those passions, not dampening them'?

  • A.Gandhi argues that partition was the only way or else it would lead to communal violence and wreak havoc.
  • B.Gandhi argues that partition would not lead to communal violence and would not wreak havoc.
  • C.Gandhi argues that partition would lead to communal violence and wreak havoc.
  • D.Gandhi argues that partition would lead to personal violence and wreak havoc.

Answer: C

The line says partition risked unleashing communal passions rather than dampening them, so Gandhi argued that partition would lead to communal violence and havoc. Option B says the opposite, A says partition was the only way, and D says personal violence, which the passage does not say. The line itself says that partition risked unleashing those passions, and the next sentences say he had seen in Noakhali what havoc communal fury could wreak once unleashed. So the inference is that partition would bring communal violence and havoc.
