Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

Freedom of the individual is fundamental to human growth; it is also fundamental to a democratic socio-political order. But that freedom becomes a menace, as much to the individual as to the nation and its democracy, if it fails to inspire itself with a second value, namely the sense of social responsibility. Along with its wedding to this sense of social responsibility, the freedom of the individual needs to be enriched with the democratic virtues of self-discipline and a humanly oriented will. This constitutes character, character centred in a socially oriented will. It is this training in citizenship virtues and graces that makes a people capable of enriching all inter-human relations, including all management techniques, with ethical and humanistic impulses and growth oriented practical efficiency.

What is the underlying idea of the passage?

  1. To demonstrate that citizens need to be trained on virtues

  2. To underline the importance of character in an individual

  3. To highlight the importance of individual freedom

  4. To show the futility of individual freedom without social responsibility

  5. To illustrate the benefits of self-discipline in a society
