From the given options, choose the sentence that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

Mattancherry is Indian Jewry’s most famous settlement. Its pretty streets of pastel coloured houses, connected by first-floor passages and home to the last twelve saree-and-sarong-wearing, whiteskinned Indian Jews are visited by thousands of tourists each year. Its synagogue, built in 1568, with a floor of blue-and-white Chinese tiles, a carpet given by Haile Selassie and the frosty Yaheh selling tickets at the door, stands as an image of religious tolerance.

[CAT 2008]

Statement A speaks of peaceful co-existence. However, there is no mention in the passage of who the Jews co-existed with. Also, peaceful co-existence implies that the Jews were tolerant as well, whereas the main focus of the passage is on how India has been tolerant of the Jews.

Statement B is accurate since it speaks of how Jews in India have never faced discrimination. From the term 'religous tolerance' we can see that people belonging to a particular religion and not facing discrimination would further the point of the passage.

Statement D is out of context.

Statement C is incorrect because it shifts the focus of the paragraph from the India being tolerant of Jews to Jews being tolerant of India.

Statement E is not in line with the overall theme and direction in which the para has been shaping up. It disregards the point on religious tolerance.
