MOCK TEST NO.-1
A.
Read the passage
carefully and answer the following questions.
Every genius that comes to the world,
achieves greatness through the capacity of taking trouble. All great men in the
world who have achieved impossible things in their life time have undergone
hardships, sacrifice, trials and tribulations. There is no easy victory over
failure. No hard achievement is smooth and easy. History of great man reminds
us that with strong determination man can achieve anything he may set his mind
upon, however impossible it may seem apparently.
A
man with determination and iron will can defeat all hurdles in the way of his
mission. Even the most intelligent people suffer in life if they cannot cope
with their circumstances and labour hard to achieve the goal of their life. A
genius who is fired with real zeal and determination to achieve his ideal comes
to possess the necessary capacity to bear the hardships, cross the hurdles and
achieve the final victory. Genius and hard work go together to bring the
desired results. The stage of greatness comes after many stages of frustrations
and disappointments. The weaker man gives way to these frustrations but the
genius perseveres and holds onto their mission until they achieve the object of
their life.
