Answer:

Gandhi used the phrase<em> "mad risk"</em> in<em> Line 47</em> because he was planning to start a "non-violence" protest (civil disobedience) regarding the issue about <em>"salt tax."</em> "Non-violence" protest<u> doesn't have a clear efficacy</u> when it comes to creating change. So, <em>this makes the risk a mad one</em>. However, Gandhi believes in it as he said, <em>"Having an unquestioning and  immovable faith in the efficacy of non-violence..."  </em>

Explanation:

Gandhi wrote a letter to the Viceroy in order to let him know that the<em> "salt tax" </em>was unfair to the people of India. On behalf of the Indian people, Gandhi wanted the Viceroy to know that if he doesn't do anything to stop the salt tax, Gandhi, his followers and other people will be doing a non-violent protest in order<em> to resist the tax</em> and<em> the monopoly of the British people on the Indian salt. </em>

The "Salt March" was a long march which lasted <em>24 days.</em> It was a 10-mile daily march towards Dandi. At the end of the march, Gandhi pinched a salt from the shoreline.

olasank [31]

Hello. You did not present the story to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The meaning of a story refers to the theme that the story is addressing and how that theme, worked on in the story, conveys a lesson to the public, conveys a valuable teaching about something.

When a text presents quotations from other works, they must be in line with this teaching that the text wishes to pass on, giving greater depth on this subject. In this case, to answer your question, you must identify what is the teaching that the author of the story is trying to promote and how that teaching is intensified by the quotes presented.
