{'end justifies': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'gandhiji': [12, 0, 0, 5], 'justifies': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'end': [4, 0, 2, 0], 'means': [2, 1, 0, 2]}

Gandhiji believed that the means justified the end. In other words, he believed that the methods or actions used to achieve a goal were just as important as the outcome itself. This means that the means should align with the values and principles that one upholds. Option 2 correctly reflects this belief.

Option 1 suggests that the end justifies the means, which implies that any action can be justified as long as it leads to a desired outcome. This goes against Gandhiji`s belief in non-violence and ethical behavior.

Option 3 suggests that neither the end justifies the means, nor vice versa. However, this is contradictory to Gandhiji`s philosophy.

Option 4 mentions that both the end and means should be justified, which aligns with Gandhiji`s beliefs to some extent, but it does not fully capture the importance he placed on the means.

Therefore, option 2 is the most accurate choice.
