The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about identifying the field Holkhomang Haokip belonged to. Writer, Producer and Football player can be ruled out together, since none of these professions is linked to his actual career.

Holkhomang Haokip was a politician from Manipur, who served as a Union Minister of State for Agriculture and was known as a prominent voice for the Kuki community in the northeast.

So the correct answer is Politician.

Approach Solution -2

The four options here represent four unrelated fields, writing, film production, sport, and public office, so this question is really about matching the right field to the right person.

  1. Writer: is not a field associated with him at any point.
  2. Producer: is also not part of his background, since his public life was spent away from the entertainment industry entirely.
  3. Football player: does not fit either, as sport was never the arena in which he became known.
  4. Politician: is the field that actually defined his public life, having served in the union government handling agriculture and representing the interests of the Kuki community from Manipur in national politics.

Public office is the one field among the four that genuinely matches his career.

Therefore, the correct answer is Politician.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

According to the passage, egalitarianism will not survive if

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
