Forster argues that tolerance is achievable because it:

ARequires no effort

BAligns with human instincts

CIs less demanding than love

DEliminates disagreements

Answer:

C. Is less demanding than love

Read Explanation:

  • Tolerance:

  • Forster says, “Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. Unlike love, it has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things….”

  • But, ‘Tolerance’ is the virtue we need today. That is the right attitude needed to rebuild the post-war world. As races and people, there are so many things we do not like in each other. We have to put up with these. We have to tolerate it.

  • Democracy, Forster argues, relies on tolerance to function.

  • A tolerant society allows for the peaceful exchange of ideas and protects individual freedoms, even when people disagree.
