A Correct answer
Explanation

Here again, we eliminate (2) as an answer choice as it has two assertions. According to the answer choices available to us, the statement 2 will be the assertion. Considering this, the first statement is irrelevant, thereby, eliminating choice (4). Now, the only thing to be done is to determine the statement 4. Gandhi's being famous or non-famous is not concerned with non-violence. Hence answer is (1).

AI explanation

Sentence 1 (the cradle of humanity seeks love) is a vague, tangential remark unrelated to the specific claim about non-violence, making it Irrelevant (C). Sentence 2 states the overall claim that non-violence drives future progress, making it the concluding Assertion (A); sentence 3 (reduces wasted resources) gives a reason supporting that claim, making it a Supporting reason (B); and sentence 4 (Gandhi's fame) is again a fact that doesn't argue the point, making it Irrelevant (C). This matches the sequence C, A, B, C.
