6. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Free Advice

I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice. Well-meaning yet ignorant friends thrust their opinions into
unwilling ears. The majority of them said I couldn’t do without meat in the cold climate. I would catch
consumption. Mr Z went to England and caught it on account of his foolhardiness. Others said I might
do without flesh but without wine I could not move. I would be numbed with cold.

One went so far as to advise me to take eight bottles of whisky, for I should want them after leaving
Aden. Another wanted me to smoke, for his friend was obliged to smoke in England. Even medical
men, those who had been to England told the same tale. I replied that I would try my best to avoid all
these things, but if they were found to be absolutely necessary I did not know what to do. I may here
mention that my aversion to meat was not so strong then as it is now. I was even betrayed into taking
meat about six or seven times at the period when I allowed my friends to think for me. But in the
steamer, my ideas began to change. I thought I should not take meat on any account. My mother,
before consenting to my departure, had exacted a promise from me not to take meat. So, I was bound
not to take it, if only for the sake of the promise. The fellow passengers in the steamer began to advise
us (the friend who was with me and myself) to try it. —

M K Gandhi.
