Question

All of the following are methods of nonviolent protest used by Mohandas Gandhi as part of the Indian independence movement except

A.

refusing to pay taxes to the British Crown.

B.

organizing marches to protest unfair laws.

C.

freeing political prisoners.

D.

boycotting British products.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. freeing political prisoners.

While Mohandas Gandhi did advocate for the rights and freedoms of political prisoners, actually freeing them was not a method of nonviolent protest that he employed as part of the Indian independence movement. The other options—refusing to pay taxes, organizing marches, and boycotting British products—were indeed methods used by Gandhi in his nonviolent protests against British rule.
