Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

passive resistance A tactic of non-violent resistance to authority pioneered by Mahatma Gandhi in his campaign against the British government in India in the 1930s and 1940s. Passive resistance has since become an accepted way for minorities to place moral pressure on majorities.

passive resistance has been conceived and is regarded as a weapon of the weak. Whilst it avoids violence, being not open to the weak, it does not exclude its use if, in the opinion of a passive resister, the occasion demands it.

Solution: The above statement is true. Gandhi said that passive resistance could only be used by strong people. According to Gandhiji, "passive resistance" is often described as the weapon of the powerles.

resisters are often present during public demonstrations or other lawful protests. Passive resistance at such an event may include chaining oneself to an object or refusing upon verbal direction to stand up or move. Passive resisters will comply with low level physical contact, as directed.
