The statement that best describes the author's claim in this passage is the first one: Violent uprisings were common, but Gandhi worked to show that resistance could be nonviolent.

Gandhi (1869-1948) was an Indian activist who led the Indian Independence movement against Bristish rule. He inspires movements of civil rights and freedom in a context of violent colonization. He employed non-violent civis disobedience claiming that "Non violence is a weapon of the strong".

He was arrested many times, he supported peace armies during both War Worlds. He was finally assassinated at the age of 78 by a militant Hindu nationalist.
