Regular practice of the questions included in the quizzes will boost up your preparations and it will be very helpful in scoring good marks in the examination.
1-5. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Today, when I reflect on those initial days of struggle, I realise that every experience taught me something. Working in a new city, away from my home town, taught me how to adapt. It was exceedingly difficult for me to leave my folks behind and live with strangers, but then I learned how to accept changes. Those odd jobs I did during the internship taught me how to be patient and precise. Filling thousands of papers is no child’s play. You need undivided attention, for if you miss one, you need to start all over again. Adhering to deadlines, collaborating with teammates, being responsible are some of the key things I learned during my first job. Every student goes through this tumultuous phase in his/her life but the key lies in sustaining and learning from it. Life gives us numerous opportunities; to utilise them is our responsibility. In the end you are always rewarded. The trust of my manager, new friends and rich learning (challenges faced at work) are some of the priceless awards that I have won which have made my journey meaningful.
