- The passage discusses the contrast between India's historical reputation for integrity and its modern-day corruption issues.
- It questions the irony that Indians claim to uphold high moral standards but often engage in corrupt practices.
- Option 1: "declare" - This word means to announce something openly or publicly. It doesn't imply personal conviction as strongly as the passage requires.
- Option 2: "assert" - This word means to state a fact or belief confidently and forcefully. However, it doesn't carry the traditional tone suggested by the passage.
- Option 3: "swear" - This word means to make a solemn declaration or promise, often invoking a divine witness, aligning well with adhering to ideals.
- Option 4: "affirm" - This word means to validate or confirm a belief or opinion but lacks the connotation of a strong moral promise.
- "Swear" fits best as it implies a deep personal commitment to honesty and integrity, aligning with the passage's theme.
