Based on the bolded paragraph, which line shows the success of Gandhi work? Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.

After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again.

… thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax.

Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet.

i think its the first on but i am not sure.

Based on the bolded paragraph, which line shows the success of Gandhi work?

Thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.
