The claim Paine refuted is the claim that Britain should govern American colonies because the colonists are of English descent. If you haven't, read Common Sense. It's an awesome read, and actually isn't too hard to understand, even if you aren't used to reading old English.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19. His mother <u>was</u> apprehensive about young men <u>going</u> astray in western society. But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women. He <u>faced</u> a lot <u>of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like <em>went, was, faced</em>, etc...

The construction go for something means <em>try to achieve a goal</em>, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi <u>went </u>to England <u>for</u> higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction <em>to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing</em><em> </em>contains the verb with <em>-ing</em> at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from <em>go </em>to <em>going</em>.

e.g. . His mother <u>was apprehensive about</u> young men <u>going</u> astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed <u>when</u> Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not <u>to</u> touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because <em>when </em>acts as a conjunction meaning <em>at the time that</em>.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced <u>a lot of</u> difficulties due to his vegetarianism.
