"Gandhi ji considered it wrongly to use unfair means even for fair ends."

A.

Gandhi ji considered

B.

even for fair ends

C.

it wrongly

D.

to use unfair means

Correct option is C

Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "It wrongly" is incorrect because the placement of the adverb "wrongly" is awkward.
· The correct phrase should be "wrong to use" instead of "wrongly to use."
· The correct sentence should be:
· "Gandhi ji considered it wrong to use unfair means even for fair ends."
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "Gandhi ji considered" → Correct phrase, no error.
· (b) "even for fair ends" → Correct phrase, no error.
· (d) "to use unfair means" → Grammatically correct, no error.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) "it wrongly."
