I. Underline the nouns in the following story and indicate what kind of noun they are:
The great Alexander once visited the studio of a sculptor in Athens. The studio was full
of statues, one of which looked rather strange. Its face was covered and there were
wings on its feet.
“What statue is this?” asked Alexander.
“It represents opportunity,” said the sculptor. “The covered face means that people are
not able to recognise an opportunity when it approaches. Its wings suggest that it
moves off at a great speed. And once it is gone, it does not come back.”
Alexander was greatly impressed. He said, “You are really a great artist. You have
shown me not only beauty but wisdom also. I too have always believed that grabbing
an opportunity and using it to our advantage is the key to success.”
