Assessment items Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this narrative. Based on her descriptions in “The Light of Gandhi’s Lamp,” how did her experiences as a young adult in apartheid-era South Africa affect Hilary Kromberg Inglis? Inglis's experiences taught her that the struggle to topple injustice and inequality demands that ordinary people face their fears and take risks. Inglis's experiences taught her that brutality and violence from the authorities must be countered with armed resistance if injustice is to be overcome. Inglis's experiences taught her that treating others with decency and honesty inevitably leads them to reciprocate and behave morally, as well. Inglis's experiences taught her that those in power during the apartheid era suffered from oppression just as those who protested suffered.
In my opinion, the correct answer is A. Inglis's experiences taught her that the struggle to topple injustice and inequality demands that ordinary people face their fears and take risks. Inglis is just one of those ordinary people, as well as her sister Anita. They are white and privileged, which means they didn't have to take any risks. But they did take them nonetheless, contributing in their own way to the end of the Apartheid. She talks about her own fear, implying that fear is a normal feeling in the face of adversity.
