Back to paper

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follows.
Where there is a will, there is a way, that is, if we are really determined to do a thing, however difficult it may be, however great obstacles in our path, we shall at last find a way of doing it. All difficulties, all hardships, all obstacles, however, insurmountable they may appear, melt before a determined will. A fierce desire, a strong determination, an iron will, will overcome all obstacles and triumph over all difficulties. A strong will is like a rushing torrent that sweeps away rocks and stones and trees in the path. Men who have ‘towered high above their fellows’ have been remarkable for their undaunted will.

Identify the main theme of the passage. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The main theme of the passage is strong will. A person with a strong will can achieve anything in life.

  • The passage focuses on the idea that a strong will can overcome all obstacles and achieve success, regardless of the difficulties faced.
  • It uses metaphors and examples to illustrate how determination and a fierce desire can lead to triumph.
  • The other options do not capture the central message as effectively: trusting oneself, having ambition, or having a goal are related but do not emphasize the specific power of a strong will as the passage does.
