Question No. 1 to 10 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer any eight questions:

What is discipline? Is it absolute freedom to do what a person wants? Is freedom regardless of consequences? Does it mean corrective action after a problem occurs or wrong is done? Is its imposition? Is it abuse? Does it take away freedom?

The answer is none of the above Discipline does mean that a person takes a belt and beats up kids. That is madness, discipline is loving firmness. It is direction. It is prevention before a problem arises. It is harnessing and channeling energy for great performance. Discipline is not something you do to yourself but you do for those you care about.

Discipline is an act of love. Sometimes you have to be unkind to be kind Not all Medicines are sweet, not all surgeries are painless, but we have to take them. We need to learn from nature. We are all familiar with that big animal, the giraffe. A mama giraffe gives birth to a baby giraffe standing. All of a sudden the baby falls on the ground from the cushion of Mama's womb and sits on the ground. The first thing mama does is to get behind the baby and give him a hard kick. The baby gets up but sits down again. Mama keeps kicking till the baby gets on its feet and starts moving. Why? Because mama knows that the only chance of survival for the baby in the jungle is on its feet. Otherwise, it will be eaten up by wild cats and become dead meat.

Children brought up in a loving, disciplined, environment end up respecting their parents more and become law-abiding citizens. The reverse is just as true. Good parents are not afraid of momentary dislike by children to enforce the subject. Allowing a child to eat a box of chocolate could lead to sickness. At the same time, the discipline of eating one or two pieces a day can be an enjoyable experience for a longer time. Our instinct makes us do whatever we want regardless of the consequences.
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired but the controlling of the desire.

3. a. You have to be unkind to be kind. ( Discipline teaches us that sometimes we need to be unkind to teach discipline and control. However, it must not be done through abuse and torture.)

4. d. She wants her baby to stand up and survive. (The mama giraffe knows that it is essential for the baby to stand on its legs. It is required for its survival. Therefore the mama giraffe kicks him.)
