Ingli's experiences taught her that even people with warm and friendly dispositions can behave in immoral and manipulative ways.

Explanation:

"The Light of Gandhi's Lamp" is a story about how Hilary Kromberg Inglis met her sister Anita's interrogator. Her sister was a white activist who greatly opposed the apartheid. The apartheid is a system that enforces the racial segregation (especially among African-Americans).

Hilary was very hesitant to visit her sister who was detained in prison because she has heard about many bad things being done to people who oppose the law. When she finally saw the interrogator, she was surprised to see that he was a good-looking man. He looked so calm and reassuring about her sister Anita's condition. Hilary found out, later on, that her sister was released and thus, she heard more stories from her. She found out that her sister was manipulated by the interrogator by destabilizing her emotions. The interrogator told her that her brother, Steve (who was also an activist), visited her instead of Hilary. This made her sister very distressed because she thought that Steve risked his life just to visit her.

This situation clearly shows that the people, just like the interrogator, who may have warm and friendly disposition, can actually behave in immoral and manipulative ways.

The correct answer is D) Inglis's experiences taught her that even people with warm and friendly dispositions can behave in immoral and manipulative ways.

That is what she lived during the apartheid years in South Africa. Indeed, that is the main topic of “The Light of Gandhi’s Lamp.” To take major risks to fight injustices although this means the possibility of facing major consequences that could affect your life.

during the debate over his landmark energy policy proposal, president jimmy carter failed to consult one of the most powerful senators, louisiana’s russell long, who would have a big say over whether the legislation moved through the upper chamber. this was classic carter. with a strong distaste for congressional politics, the president simply refused to do what most other presidents would consider routine, such as courting key senators. long became so irate with the president that when he was finally invited to a white house dinner, he stood up to ask a question and, before doing so, proceeded to sarcastically introduce himself: “i’m russell long, chairman of the senate finance committee.”

this interaction is a revealing moment in stuart e. eizenstat’s fascinating new history of carter’s presidency. the former peanut farmer from georgia was a president who, according to conventional wisdom, didn’t care much for party politics; nonetheless, in eizenstat’s view, carter’s legacy on domestic and foreign policy has been vastly underappreciated. the author paints carter as a “bold and determined” leader who bravely attacked the challenges of his time. eizenstat goes so far as to argue that carter might very well be the most successful one-term president in american history.
