Question 113

English Vocabulary Hard

<p><strong>In the sentence given below, a part of the sentence is underlined.<br /> Four different ways of phrasing the underlined part are indicated as four choices.<br /> Choose&nbsp;the best alternative and mark its corresponding letter as your answer.</strong></p> <p>A nation is built not by legislation but <u>by the stirrings in the heart of the people.</u></p>

(A) By legislation and by inspiration
(B) Not by laws but by the excitement of the people
(C) By law and by inciting the people
(D) More by the passions in the hearts of the people than by laws
✓ Correct Answer: Option D Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

The sentence contrasts legislation with the "stirrings in the heart of the people", meaning their emotions or passions. A nation is built more by the passions in people's hearts than by laws.

Option (D) keeps this meaning most accurately. Option (B) "excitement" is weaker and loses "heart".

Answer: (D)
