II. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: Gandhiji was of a ripe age, but he was still full of vitality and his capacity for work was great. The end came suddenly by the hands of an assassin. India was shocked and the world grieved. To those of us who were more intimately connected with him the shock and sorrow were hard to bear. And yet, perhaps it was fitting close to amagnificent career and in his death, as in his life, he served the cause to which he had devoted himself. None of us would have liked to see him gradually fading body and mind with increasing years. And so he died, as he had lived, a bright star of hope and achievement, the father of nation, which had been shaped and trained by him for half a century. To those who had the honour of being associated with him in some of his innumerable activities he will ever remain an example of youthful energy. We shall not think of him all an old man but rather as one who represented the energy of spring and the birth of a new India. A. Find the word from the passage that means the same as the following.
