Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions:
Once there lived a boy called Amalkanti. He was very different from the other boys of his age. He used to be lost in his own thoughts and for this reason, every single day he was scolded or beaten up by one or other teacher. The children of his class, too, were amazed to see him. Neither he could conjugate a verb nor he could answer questions on multiplication tables. Everybody knew him to be a dull boy. He would be scolded so often that the children of his class began to pity him. In order to save him from teachers rebuke, they would prompt him with answers but no use. Years later, I happened to meet Amalkanti. Most of the boys of his class had grown up to become something. Some who wanted to become lawyers had become doctors and some who wanted to become doctors were now teachers. I wondered what Amalkanti had achieved in life, for he always wanted to become sunlight. Sitting in a small room, before the printer, I saw Amalkanti printing books after books. He published books, pamphlets, journals, magazines and what not, everything that he was a source of knowledge. He published all kinds of books that would help a lawyer become a lawyer, a doctor become a doctor, a teacher become a teacher. Indeed Amalkanti had become a sunlight!
