Part – I (English)
Passage for reading comprehension
Read the following passage and answer the question set below it.
Allah has created tens of millions of humanity. Of them, scores take birth with passion of selfless service to humanity. They are born to great mothers who bring up, groom and teach them good morals. Such altruists are pride of their families, communities and nations. They live for others. They serve human beings above self regardless of latter’s colour, caste, creed, nationality and geographically remote areas. Such noble people exist on the earth for a sojourn but they leave behind indelible impression on minds of their compatriots. They are no longer with us yet sweet memories and warmth of their altruism, their empathy for their people’s sincere fellow feelings keep us reminding of their nobility, humility and selflessness. Our hearts are such people’s abodes and our minds havens of memories of their noble deeds and great achievements, as long as we survive. Most of such great souls are no more with us yet echoes of their talks, heartfelt words, words of sympathy and deeds of generosity resound in our minds forever.
