Sir/Ma'am
In the example of a family holding together, should it not mean that they work together ? Here working together implies they are in peace with each other?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following questions, you have a passage with questions following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


In the highest sense religion is an intensely individual issue. But there is a national question also. We must hold together. And we cannot hold together only on the strength of police regulations. An internal regulator of conduct is absolutely necessary Will men be good and wise without the aid of religion? As modern life has multiplied desires without the corrective of a sense of spiritual values, knowledge of modern science does not reduce either greed or lust. Indeed it has nothing to do with the criminal disturbances of the mind. On the contrary, it finds fresh tools for greater indulgence in all forms of greed, lust and anger. It is true that a sense of shame by itself open prevents overt misconduct. But it does not go to the root of the mischief. It does not stop undesirable mental activities.The only thing that can prevent or restrain these evils is the religious sense.

The statement “We must hold together” means that we should:

Options:
A) be politically united
B) work together
C) be spiritually united
D) be in a fixed position
Solution:
Ans: (a) be politically united

Hold together (or hold something together) means to remain or cause to remain united, or to stay together and continue to have a good relationship in a difficult situation

Eg: "if your party holds together, you will probably win"

       How can any family hold together under these circumstances?
