Question

Q.1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

I was the kid who sat on the sidelines and watched others having a good time splashing about in the sea, wishing I could swim. Eventually, I learned how to, the hard way. My brothers threw me into the water. As I floundered and nearly drowned, it didn’t occur to me then that my brothers had taught me two important skills: survival and independence. These skills were gifts that I relied on numerous times over as an adult. As a child, I wasn’t good for anything. But when I grew up, nothing fascinated me more than the chance to try something new. If nothing else, my curiosity was fuelled by the desire to test my limits. I was sixteen when I climbed my first mountain. It was Gunung Ledang in Johor, Malaysia, in 1980. It was a horrible experience. I found the heat and thickness of the jungle overwhelming. The night spent on the summit was cold and lonely. As I lay in my tent, with my knees curled to my chin, I vowed that I would never climb another mountain. And yet, ironically, at the age of 34, I was one of the two climbers from the first Singapore Mount Everest Expedition who summited Mount Everest in May 1998. High-altitude climbing is still a very dangerous task in spite of the availability of oxygen masks and other protective equipment, which modern climbers take with them. These, of course, are indispensable accessories of climbing, but more important than these is the stamina of the climber, which ultimately determines the success of his attempt. Throughout his journey, death is his constant companion, which he can keep at a distance only with his superb presence of mind. Answer these
