sorry I don't know this one.......
no money , alone can't make a nation strong as because it is hard work and honesty of nation's citizens who make it strong..
Answer:
Answer 1 )
None but the citizens of a nation can help making a nation strong . If the citizens are patriotic towards their country and also try to help the country in whatever ways possible ( either through donating money or providing food ) , even the poorest of poorest countries can touch the sky . Hence only citizens of a nation can make it strong .
Answer 2 )
The strength of a nation lies in the hands of it's citizens . A great example can be seen in India as in itself , when people fought together and sacrificed their selves without giving a second thought - just for their nation . Hence , the strength of a nation lies in it's citizens .
Answer 3 )
A yard stick can be said to be a unit to measure something which is abstract like - care or bravery . Hence , the yardstick for the greatness of a nation would mean the measurement or the unit through which we can measure it's greatness . The yardstick for the greatness of a nation would be the quality and attributes of it's citizens without which it cannot do anything with plain gold .
Answer 4 )
No , money alone can never make a nation strong . It is the integrity , valour , care and the quality of its citizens, that makes a nation strong . Without it's citizens to tap into it's wealth and use it for everyone's benefit , there would be no use for plain gold alone in a nation . Hence money alone can never make a nation strong .
