Of his family, he recalled, “My father never had any ambition to accumulate riches and left us very little property. He had no education, save that of experience.” Like his father, Gandhi became someone who valued experience over money. The quotation is taken from page 2 of this source: Gandhi, Mahatma. The Story of My Experiments with Truth. 1927. New York: Dover Publications, 1983. Print. Gandhi’s experiences abroad taught him a great deal, but they certainly did not make him rich. According to Indian scholar E. S. Reddy, “…on January 9, 1915, M. K. Gandhi returned to Bombay after 21 years in exile, wearing a loin cloth and travelling from London in the lowest class of the ship.” Few people suspected that this unassuming man would become one of the most powerful and beloved leaders in history.

Explanation: Answer example from Platto

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
