Question

The statement “We must hold together” means that we should _______.
A) Be politically united
B) Work together
C) Be spiritually united
D) Keep up our nation’s prestige

Answer 1

Hint: Statements are sentences that express a fact, idea or opinion and statements do not ask questions, make requests or give commands. They are also not exclamations. For example: A piece of sworn testimony.

Complete step by step answer:
Option A) Be politically united – is an incorrect answer because politically united means political unions and it means that they have one currency and have no trade barriers between constituent states. Thus, the statement “We must hold together” does not mean to be politically united. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Work together – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of work together means a group of people or students are working together to carry out a common goal. Thus, the statement “We must hold together” does not mean work together. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Be spiritually united – is the correct answer because the literal meaning of spiritual is relating to people’s thought and beliefs rather than to their bodies and physical surroundings. So, when people start understanding other people it leads to positivity and growth in everything. Thus, the statement “We must hold together” means be spiritually united. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Keep up our nation’s prestige – is an incorrect answer because if a country has prestige, they are admired and respected because of the position they hold or the things they have achieved as compared to other nations. Thus, the statement “We must hold together” does not mean keep up your nation’s pride. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
The entire paragraph implies that "we must hold together" means to be spiritually united. It is further supported by the statement "an internal regulator of conduct is absolutely necessary". The other options do not fit the context as well.
