What is the Gandhi test?

I can't see the passage this question is based on, so I'll rely on what I know about the question and the options. JAMB English comprehension questions like this depend on the passage, and the exact wording matters.

1. Analyze the question "What is the Gandhi test?" asks what test the passage attributes to Gandhi. It is a "what does the passage say" detail question.

2. Explain the concept In comprehension, you find the answer by locating the key term ("Gandhi test") in the passage and reading the sentence that defines it. You then match its meaning, not just keywords, to an option.

3. Work through the options

• A. "You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you" is a line about imitation and influence. It is about how we treat other people, not a test of right and wrong.
• B. "To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield" is from Tennyson's poem Ulysses. It has no connection to Gandhi.
• C. "You can tell that what you are doing is good or bad if you want other people to know about it or not." This is a test of conduct: if you would be happy for others to know what you are doing, it is probably good, and if you want to hide it, it is probably bad. It is a moral "test" you can apply to yourself, which fits the word "test" in the question.
• D. "Can we rise above our personal feelings and sentiments in particular situations or not" is about emotional detachment. It is not framed as a self-check on actions.

4. Identify the answer Option C is the only one that works as a practical test with a clear way of judging the result.

I couldn't check this against the passage text itself, so if your passage defines the Gandhi test differently, compare it with C and tell me what it says.

5. Exam tip When a question asks "What is the ___ test/rule/principle?", look for the option that gives a way to check or decide something. Also watch for options that are famous quotations from elsewhere (like B from Ulysses), because they are usually distractors.
