Answer 1

Answer:

The servants of Rajendra Prasad thought Gandhi to be another peasant. They did not know him. They were not certain whether he was an untouchable or not. They feared that some drops from his bucket might pollute the entire well.

• The servants of Rajendra Prasad thought that Gandhi was a peasant.
• They did not know him earlier.
