Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e., to maintain.
The sentence here has a gerund with which is wrong because to here is not acting as a preposition. Therefore, “to maintaining” should be replaced with “to maintain” i.e., to+ infinitive.
The correct sentence will be-
Everybody is aware that peaceful life respects non-violence and non-interference, yet it is difficult to
maintain peace only because public consciousness is not expansive enough to fully understand
peace.
