  • A.Tagore considered the movement as a setback to the promising signs for humanity he saw in Europe.
  • B.Gandhi and Tagore couldn't argue with each other as a sign of respect for the other.
  • C.After meeting Gandhi, Tagore was convinced of the virtues and potential of the non-co-operation movement.
  • D.Gandhiji refused to respond after Tagore went public with his critique of the movement.

Answer: A

The true statement is that Tagore considered the movement a setback to the promising signs for humanity he saw in Europe.

Tagore wrote that in the West he had met people hoping 'to achieve the unity of man, by destroying the bondage of nationalism' and had watched European students 'all aglow with the hope of a united mankind'. He then came home to 'a political movement suffused with negativity', which is the contrast the option states.

The others are contradicted: the two had 'a long and argumentative conversation', so they did argue; Tagore 'was not satisfied' and went public, so he was not convinced; and Gandhi 'responded immediately', so he did not refuse to reply.
