Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
At the age of 18, Mother Teresa was convinced that her life's vocation lay in her becoming a
missionary in far-off India; Skopje, where she was born on August 26, 1910, was so far removed
from Bengal that, barring a few Yugoslav Jesuits who fired her young imagination, no one in the
small Catholic community would even have known where is India situated. Yet the early seeds of
her faith and determination impelled her to leave her closely knit family. She found that the route to
India lay in her joining the Loreto Order of teaching nuns, who were headquartered in faraway
Calcutta. Here she taught for close to 20 years before her true calling propelled her to serve the
poor in the streets and slums. The Vatican, fantastically, gave her permission to step outside the
Cloister, not as a lay worker but with her religious vows intact, to set up her own order, the
Missionaries of Charity. In 1948, Calcutta's pavements were teeming with millions uprooted by the
Partition, who had joined the hapless sufferers of the Great Bengal famine. Into this sea of tragedy,
homelessness, disease and despair stepped a 38-year-old nun, dressed not in a recognizable
nun's habit, but a sari similar to what the municipal sweeper wore. She had no companion, no
helper and no money to speak of. What she did have was a secret calling that her God wanted her
to leave the security of the Loreto Convent and minister to Him in his distressing disguise of the
poorest of the poor, the abandoned infant, the leprosy sufferer shunned by society and the dying
destitute.
