Given below are pairs of sentences (S1, S2). Select the co-relationship of the second sentence to the first from among the options (a), (b), (c) and (d), and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
S1: The concept of Ahimsa was adopted by Gandhiji after he was introduced to it by Tolstoy. The latter first read about it in German translation of Thirukkural, the great moral treatise in Tamil.
S2: Much in the same way that Gandhi was influenced by Tolstoy, in the United States of America, Martin Luther King Jr. shaped his Civil Rights Movement based on Gandhian principles.
The second sentence
- Acounters the first
- Bdefends the premise of the first
- Cprovides an analogy for the first
- Dexplains the first
Explanation
S1 traces a chain of influence (Thirukkural → Tolstoy → Gandhi); S2 presents a parallel chain (Gandhi → Martin Luther King Jr.) introduced by ‘Much in the same way’ — an analogy to S1’s pattern of influence. It does not counter (a), defend (b), or explain (d) S1. Hence the second sentence provides an analogy for the first.
