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

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

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

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

e.g. . His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society.

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

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

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 a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.
