[amp_mcq option1=”PSRQ” option2=”QPSR” option3=”SPQR” option4=”SPRQ” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is: D. SPRQ
The sentence “Religion is not a matter of mere dogmatic conformity” is the main idea of the paragraph. The sentence “It is not merely going through the ritual prescribed to us” supports the main idea by providing an example of what religion is not. The sentence “It is not a question of ceremonial piety” also supports the main idea by providing another example of what religion is not. The sentence “Unless that kind of transformation occurs, you are not an authentically religious man” is a conclusion that follows from the main idea and the supporting sentences. The sentence “A man of that character is free from fear, free from hatred” is a restatement of the main idea.
