What do we learn about the Christian Missionaries’ views from the first few sentences of the passage?

They thought India to be a country of believers and religious people.
That Indians needed to be taught religiousness
The Indian land could be saved only if Christian ways were taught to the people.
India was a land of non-believers that had to be saved by promoting Christianity.
That the atheists in India needed to be brought into the Christian cult.

Solution

The passage given to us is associated with the ways of the Christian missionaries and how Swami Vivekananda countered them. The first part of the passage tells about the ways and ideas on the basis of which the Christian missionaries promoted their religion in India. In their opinion, India was a land of heathens or non-believers who needed to be taught religion so that they can gain redemption in their life. On the basis of this description, the only correct option is D, as the rest do not provided a proper explanation.

Choose the single correct answer option from the list provided:

What did they accuse Swami Vivekananda for?

For promoting his rationalist ideas that lead to a steady downfall in the number of subscriptions that they got from Indian masses.
For affecting their religious promotions with his irrational views.
For not following their religion, rather making people go against it.
For favoring material and rational support more than religious ways of life.
For making people reject their ideology and join his cult.

Solution

We are told in the passage how Swamiji gave preference to material and rational approach to life over the religious one. This went against the ways that were desired by the Christian missionaries and affected the number of followers that they had been having. They accused him for this very reason and the first option provided to us best describes this condition and is thus, the correct answer. The rest of the options either supply partial details or are vaguely hinted at the proper idea in the passage, so we cannot take them as the correct answers.

Choose the single correct answer option from the list provided:

How were the scandals against Swamiji treated by him and the masses?

He protested against the missionaries with his followers.
He was patient and stayed firm at his ideas while the followers stood up to challenge the ways of the Christian missionaries.
He approved of their views and stayed calm and composed.
He rejected their ideologies flatly and stood up to promote his ideas with his followers.
He renounced his ideas and joined the missionaries along with his followers.

Solution

Towards the end of the passage, we are told how Swamiji struck to his philosophy that ‘truth alone prevails’ and stood firm at this even when the Christian missionaries started taking steps to bring down his reputation among the masses. He stayed composed in these times and waited for the truth to be revealed to the world itself while his followers demonstrated and protested against those who offended his position. The second option stands up to this description properly and is thus, the correct answer to this question.
