The author concludes the passage by

Concept

A conclusion question asks for the dominant function of the closing sentences, not merely a detail mentioned there.

The best choice should summarize the writer’s final emphasis and explain how it completes the passage.

Application

In the final paragraph, the writer first says that Gandhi and the Congress should be judged by their policies and actions. The focus then shifts to the claim that personality “counts and colours” those policies and becomes especially important for understanding an exceptional person such as Gandhi. The closing reference to Gandhi as representing India’s spirit and honour reinforces that emphasis. Therefore, the author concludes by pointing out the importance of the personality of Gandhi.

Contrast

• “Criticising the Indian masses” does not describe the closing tone; the masses are presented as people whose burdens and aspirations Gandhi represented.

• “Describing the Gandhian movement” names a topic discussed across the passage, whereas the conclusion narrows the focus to Gandhi’s personality.

• “Identifying the sorrows of millions of Indians” captures one phrase in the final sentence, but that phrase supports the larger point about what Gandhi’s personality represented.

Result

Thus, the concluding move is to emphasize the importance of Gandhi’s personality.
