complete the sentence.
according to the passage, krishna told arjuna that he should go into battle against his family because
arjunas cousins stole money from him
it was going to be easy for arjuna to win
arjunas duty as a warrior was to fight
arjuna wanted to fight his family

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze Krishna's response: "Look to your own duty; do not tremble before it; nothing is better for a warrior than a battle of sacred duty." We check each option:

• "Arjuna’s cousins stole money from him": The passage has no mention of theft. Eliminate.
• "it was going to be easy for Arjuna to win": The passage doesn't discuss the ease of winning. Eliminate.
• "Arjuna’s duty as a warrior was to fight": This matches Krishna's emphasis on duty and that a battle of sacred duty is best for a warrior.
• "Arjuna wanted to fight his family": Arjuna says "I do not want to kill them", so this is false. Eliminate.

Answer:

Arjuna’s duty as a warrior was to fight
