Question

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
I commend you not to learn your sciences from books unaided, even though you may trust
your ability to understand. Resort to teachers for each science you seek to acquire; and
should your teacher be limited in his knowledge take all that he can offer, until you find
another more accomplished than he. You must venerate and respect him. When you read a
book, make every effort to learn it by heart and master its meaning. Imagine the
book to have disappeared and that you can dispense with it, unaffected by its loss. One
should read histories, study biographies and the experiences of nations. By doing this, it
will be as though, in his short life space, he lived contemporaneously with peoples
of the past, was on intimate terms with them, and knew the good and bad among them.
He who has not endured the stress of study will not taste the joy of knowledge. When you
have finished your study and reflection, occupy your tongue with the mention of God’s
name, and sing His praises. Do not complain if the world turns its back on you. Know that
learning leaves a trail and a scent proclaiming its possessor; a ray of light and brightness
shining on him, pointing him out.
