Question 6 is based on the stimulus below: Dear Friend, God willing, it is my intention...to set out for Dharasana and reach there with my companions... and demand possession of the Salt Works.

Not a pinch of salt can be removed without the previous sanction of the authorities. It is possible for you to prevent this raid, as it has been playfully and mischievously called, in three ways: By removing the Salt Tax; By arresting me and my party, unless the country can, as I hope it will, replace every one taken away; By sheer goondaism [violence] unless every head broken is replaced, as I hope it will....
