Question

1. Read the passage and answer the questions-

There is a very good story about a hare and a tortoise. The hare was very proud of its fast speed. It competed with the tortoise. The hare
started running but did not continue its run and slept. On the other hand, the tortoise went on plodding and reached the goal before the hare. In the same way if we begin a work at fast speed but do not continue it the work is hampered. There are several students who try to labour fourteen to eighteen hours a day, but they are unable to continue it and the result is affected. On the other hand, the students toiling continuously only for a few hours do well.

Questions
