निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए तथा उस पर आधारित प्रश्नों के उत्तर दीजिए :
अहिंसात्मक अभ्यास का मार्ग ही अलग है । फौज में प्रतिदिन कवायद, कसरत, क्रूरतापूर्ण शिकार इत्यादि कराए जाते हैं । अहिंसात्मक अभ्यास इससे बिलकुल भिन्न है । उसका साधन, यदि एक शब्द में कहना चाहें, तो बस, संयम है । यहाँ संयम व्यापक अर्थ में उन तमाम नियमों के लिए व्यवहृत किया गया है, जिनका उल्लेख हिन्दुओं के तथा दूसरे धर्मों के धर्मग्रंथों में पाया जाता है । ये साधारण सदाचार के नियम सख्ती से पालन करके सीखे जाते हैं । इन सब नियमों का झुकाव अहिंसा और सत्य की ओर ही होता है । गांधीजी ने बार-बार लिखा है कि ईश्वर पर विश्वास इसका एक बहुत बड़ा सहायक होता है । यदि इस अहिंसात्मक प्रवृत्ति को जागृत और पुष्ट करने में समय लगाया जाए, बचपन से ही अभ्यास कराया जाए और इस पर पूरा ध्यान दिया जाए, तो निर्भयता इत्यादि जो इसके मुख्य बाह्य रूप देखने में आते हैं, अवश्य ही प्राप्त किए जा सकते हैं । यह कहना कि यह मनुष्य के लिए संभव नहीं, बेबुनियाद बात है ।
निर्भयता आदि गुणों को सीखने के लिए आवश्यक है :
अनुशासन
बचपन में सैनिक शिक्षा का अभ्यास
बचपन से ही अहिंसात्मक प्रवृत्ति का अभ्यास
युवावस्था में ब्रह्मचर्य का आचरण
Correct answer
अनुशासन

अहिंसात्मक अभ्यास की उससे पृथकता प्रतिपादित की जा सके
फौज के क्रिया-कलापों को बताया जा सके
सैनिक शिक्षा की अनिवार्यता संकेतित की जाए
Correct answer
फौज का महत्त्व निरूपित किया जाए
धर्मग्रंथों में सर्वाधिक बल दिया गया है :
अनुशासन पर
अहिंसा पर
संयम पर
भक्ति और ज्ञान पर
Correct answer
