answer the questions given below it. Certain words/
phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.
One day all the employees reached the office and they saw
a big advice on the door on which it was written:
“Yesterday the person who has been hindering your
growth in this company passed away. We invite you to
join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the
gym”. In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of
one of their colleagues, but after a while they started
getting curious to know who was that man who hindered
the growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents
were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The
more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement
heated up. Everyone thought: “Who is this guy who was
hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!” One by one
the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when
they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless.
They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if
someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There
was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked
inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There
is only one person who is capable to set limits to your
growth: it is YOU.” You are the only person who can
revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can
influence your happiness, your realization and your
success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when
your friends change, when your partner changes, when
your company changes. Your life changes when YOU
change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when
you realize that you are the only one responsible for your
life. “The most important relationship you can have is the
one you have with yourself.’’
71. Which of the following is true in context of the
passage?
(a) The crowd gathered in the office for the funeral.
