excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright
“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”
Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.
Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.
Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?
It shows that Gandhi is untrustworthy.
It reveals that Gandhi learns the importance of nonviolence.
It proves that gold is important to Gandhi.
It demonstrates that as a teen Gandhi has a permissive father.
