Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our
pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour,
when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but
rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul
of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the
pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of
humanity.
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with
her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike
she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end
today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate
today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that
await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the
challenge of the future?
Freedom and power bring responsibility. That responsibility rests upon this Assembly, a
sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom we have
endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow. Some
of those pains continue even now. Neverthless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to
us now. That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the
pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the
service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and
inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe
every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so
long our work will not be over.
-Jawaharlal Nehru
