Question

Uphion of
Exercise-2 Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow :
In the White House, Abraham Lincoln quietly, sadly and ably guided the nation. Men
complained about him, and he listened quietly and without anger
. Men worked against
him and he did not turn against them. His great heart was full of grief, he loved
peace; he was strong and determined to go on to the end. Slowly
, the ordinary people
of the country began to know that in the White House there was a great President
and a great man.
Lincoln had one serious fault-one which often troubled the officers of the army very
much. He loved people, and he could understand and forgive their weaknesses, perhaps
more than was best. He found it difficult, for example, to permit the army courts to have
a soldier shot for running away during a battle or for falling asleep while on guard duty
He wanted to forgive them and give them a second chance, and their officers didn't like
it. A mother's tears, a baby's cry, a story of misfortune—these touched his heart.
