Question

Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech "A Tryst with Destiny.”

Freedom and power bring responsibility. The responsibility rests upon this assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom we have endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow. Some of those pains continue even now. Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to us now.

That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity.

Which reasons does the author include to support the claim in this passage? Select two options.

1.People are still living in poverty and inequality in India.
2.The assembly is now responsible for serving the people.
3.Millions of people are suffering and are in need of help.
4.India’s future will be one of resting and enjoying freedom.
5.India should look to its past to create the new government.

3. Millions of people are suffering and are in need of help.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech made by Jawaharlal Neru, an Indian independence activist who served as India's first Prime Minister. The speech as made when India gained its independence from the British Empire.

The speech was meant to tell the people of the history of India until it, finally, was able to achieve freedom. It talks about suffering of all the people who never gave up for that particular day (liberation day) to finally arrive.

Although India is finally free, it is still a problem for the nation to end the millions of people who are suffering. So, this means that these millions of people are in need of help. This is because many people are still living in poverty and inequality in India. Thus, the goal for India's full liberation is not yet achieved. It is then important that people help each other.
