Read the passage given below.
1. Caged behind thick glass, the most famous dancer in the world can easily be missed in the National Museum,
Delhi. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro is that rare artefact that even school children are familiar with. Our
school textbooks also communicate the wealth of our 5000-year heritage of art. You have to be alert to her
existence there, amid terracotta animals to rediscover this bronze image.
2. Most of us have seen her only in photographs or sketches, therefore, the impact of actually holding her is
magnified a million times over. One discovers that the dancing girls has no feet. She is small, a little over 10 cm
tall - the length of a human palm - but she surprises us with the power of great art - the ability to communicate
across centuries.
3. A series of bangles - of shell or ivory or thin metal - clothe her left upper arm all the way down to her
fingers. A necklace with three pendants bunched together and a few bangles above the elbow and wrist on the
right hand display an almost modern art.
4. She speaks of the undaunted, ever hopeful human spirit. She reminds us that it is important to visit museums in
our country to experience the impact that a work of art leaves on our senses, to find among all the riches one
particular vision of beauty that speaks to us along.
What are the two correct meanings of the word 'existence' used in the passage.
1. The state of being present
2. The state of being alive
3. The way of living
4. The way of creating
5. The way of experiencing
