Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Gandhi’s ways of life, if followed in their entirety, will aid us in the creation of a society of peace and _______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. harmony.

Context: The sentence talks about Gandhi’s way of life leading to a society of peace. The blank must describe a positive quality that naturally goes with peace.

Meaning of the words:
     • discord – disagreement, conflict
     • harmony – agreement, unity, peaceful coexistence
     • agitation – restlessness, disturbance
     • cacophony – harsh, unpleasant mixture of sounds

Correct word: harmony

Reason: Since the sentence is about creating a society of peace, the appropriate word is harmony, as it matches the positive tone. Other options convey negativity, which does not fit the context.

Final Sentence: Gandhi’s ways of life, if followed in their entirety, will aid us in the creation of a society of peace and harmony.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
