Direction : Each of the questions is based on the passage given below. The questions are to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. Choose the most appropriate response that accurately and completely answers the question.
Lionel Messi could not believe it. Frankly, few could. Against the US four days ago, his divine left foot had made the ball overcome a wall of defenders and curl and dip past a diving goalkeeper to magically settle in the top left corner of the goal. It was not as much a free kick from 25 yards, but a laser-guided missile. On Sunday night, in the penalty shootout of the Copa America final against Chile, he hit it over from less than half that distance with nothing but the thick New Jersey air to beat. The resultant 4–2 loss meant Argentina’s title drought, dating back to 1993, would continue. It also ensured that Messi, one of the most decorated club footballers of all time, would not get that one trophy with the national team he so covets. It will remain that way as Messi, later, announced his retirement from international football.
His teammates have said it was a heat-of-the-moment decision and he would reconsider. Messi’s unhappiness with the Argentine Federation, which is teetering on the brink of collapse, may also have influenced his decision. Therefore, a return to sky blue-and-white, with the World Cup just two years away, cannot be implausible. Nevertheless, if Sunday was his final appearance for Albiceleste, what legacy does he leave behind? It is easy to brand him as an underachiever, given his 28–0 club vs. country record at the senior level. But the picture is more complex. For one, modern-day football has very limited scope for independent, individual flair. Two, what that number does not show is both as a player and a captain, Messi has been instrumental in Argentina making it to three major finals in the last two years, including the 2014 World Cup.
What remains unquestionable is Messi’s unimpeachable genius. His unparalleled vision, deft touch, and nimble footwork have often proved to be the lifeline of his teams, be it at Barcelona or Argentina. Yes, he may have missed that crucial penalty, but it is important to remember that football is a team sport. It is equally about collective endeavour as it is about individual brilliance.
Clearly, the margin between an underachiever and a GOAT is very, very slim. It, therefore, depends on how you want to remember Messi : Through his last miss or his last hit, that free kick.
What does the author mean to say when he comments, “Lionel Messi could not believe it”?
Lionel Messi could not believe that he could not score a goal of a free kick during the penalty shootout
Lionel Messi could not believe that he had overcome a wall of defenders to score a goal from 25 yards
Lionel Messi could not believe that the football that he kicked from 25 yards hit the goals like a missile
Lionel Messi could not believe the ball that he kicked curved and settled in the top left corner of the goal
Correct answer
Lionel Messi could not believe that he could not score a goal of a free kick during the penalty shootout
When Messi missed the penalty shot, what result did that ensure?
It brought criticism for Messi from all around the world
It deprived his national football team of the Copa America Cup
It made Lionel Messi so dejected that he had to announce retirement from football
It cost Argentina its chance of winning the FIFA World Cup
Correct answer
It brought criticism for Messi from all around the world
What tone does the author employ when discussing Lionel Messi’s career and achievements in the passage?
Appreciative and celebratory
Critical and judgemental
Analytical and objective
Emotional and empathetic
Correct answer

his unhappiness with the Argentine Federation
the defeat in the Copa America final
the heat of the moment
the desire to focus on his club career
Correct answer
his unhappiness with the Argentine Federation
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
Lionel Messi’s retirement from international football was solely influenced by his missed penalty in the Copa America final
Lionel Messi’s legacy as a football player is defined by his individual achievements rather than his contributions to the teams he played for
Lionel Messi’s individual brilliance as a football player is acknowledged, but it is important to remember that football is a team sport
Lionel Messi’s retirement from international football marks the end of his football career altogether
Correct answer
Lionel Messi’s retirement from international football was solely influenced by his missed penalty in the Copa America final
Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
Messi has never won a major international trophy with Argentina.
Messi’s individual brilliance outweighs the importance of collective endeavour in football.
Messi’s missed penalty in the Copa America final was the sole reason for Argentina’s loss

Messi has never won a major international trophy with Argentina.
