Read the following passage and answer the questions. In 1912 the British Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his men were caught in a fierceblizzard and perished while returning to their base camp, after reaching the south pole. Their tent, buried under snow was discov- ered the following year by Sir Earnest. Handed over a letter written by Scott to his author-friend, James Bravie. After describing the blizzard and their impending doom, Scott wrote that he and his colleagues were spend- ing the time singing songs and making pleasant conversations. Below these lines he had also written in bold letters, one word-COURAGE. When he returned to England Shackleton handed over the letter to sir James Bravie who read it and kept it in a box. A few years later sir James developed some defect in his right hand because of which he could not hold a pen. The author despaired of ever being able to write again. One day, in a despondent mood, he took out Scotts letter and read it again. It lifted his spirits and set him thinking. If Scott and his men could remain cheerful in the face of death, could he too not learn to face adversity bravely ? He picked up his pen and began practising writing with his left hand. In a few weeks he could write perfectly well with it. Now answer the following questions. Each question has four choices.
