Question

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.
