Read the passage and answer the question :

Charkha

Mahatma Gandhi was profoundly critical of the modern age in which machines enslaved humans and displaced labour. He saw the charkha as a symbol of a human society that would not glorify machines and technology. The spinning wheel, moreover, could provide the poor with supplementary income and make them self-reliant.

What I object to, is the craze for machinery as such. The craze is for what they call labour-saving machinery. Men go on "saving labour", till thousands are without work and thrown on the open streets to die of starvation. I want to save time and labour, not for a fraction of mankind, but for all; I want the concentration of wealth, not in the hands of few, but in the hands of all.

Khaddar does not seek to destroy all machinery but it does regulate its use and check its weedy growth. It uses machinery for the service of the poorest in their own cottages. The wheel is itself an exquisite piece of machinery.

Gandhi saw 'charkha' as a symbol of human society that would not glorify ________.

Machines and Technology

The correct answer is Option (2) → Machines and Technology

The reason the answer is (2) Machines and Technology is that the passage explicitly states that Mahatma Gandhi saw the charkha as a symbol of a human society that would not glorify machines and technology. Gandhi was critical of the modern age where machines enslaved humans and displaced labor. He advocated for the use of the charkha as a means of promoting self-reliance and providing supplementary income for the poor. This reflects his stance against the glorification of machines and technology, making option (2) the most suitable answer.
