1 Comprehension Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: 

Arnold Toynbee said about Ramakrishna that ‘his religious activity and experience were comprehensive to a degree that had

 perhaps never before been attained by any other religious genius in India or elsewhere’. You will hear only echoes of such words if

 you go through some recent works on Ramakrishna published in the West. What is most important in all works for the

 dissemination of Vedanta philosophy in its bearings on the idea of universal religion is to affirm, without any reservation, that this

 ideal does not touch any religion as it exists but only urges a universal approach to all religions. By universal religion, Vivekananda

 meant this mingling of faiths and he thought it was Vedanta, particularly Advaita Vedanta, which could bring about this mingling of

 spiritual tunes in a grand harmony of faiths.

 A reflection

 B reproduction

 C reverberation

 D facsimile

 E None of the above
