Directions: Read the given passage carefully to answer the following questions. Each question will have five alternatives as its answer. Choose the correct option as your answer.

Amit Mishra had always been a diligent employee at the multinational company he worked for. For nearly a decade, he had climbed the corporate ladder, earning promotions and accolades along the way. His colleagues often envied his determination and work ethic. However, Amit missed something crucial in his life – a sense of personal fulfilment. The long hours and corporate meetings left him feeling void and unfulfilled. One weekend, Amit visited his family in the small village of Jhikra. It was there that he found solace in the simplicity and serenity of rural life. His grandfather, a retired farmer, showed him around their ancestral farmland. The lush green fields and the gentle breeze stirred something deep within Amit. On one of these walks, his grandfather mentioned the rising demand for organic produce, especially lemons, in the local market. The idea of lemon cultivation fascinated Amit. He spent hours researching and learning about its techniques, the climate suitability, and the financial prospects. The more he delved into it, the more he realised that this could be the fresh start he eagerly sought. Finally, Amit made a bold decision. He quit his prestigious job and invested his savings into transforming their land for lemon cultivation. Despite the initial scepticism from his peers and family, Amit was determined to make it work. He missed the regular paycheques and the corporate luxuries, but the promise of working towards something tangible and meaningful drove him forward. Amit's transition wasn't without challenges. He faced unpredictable weather, pests, and a steep learning curve. But with each passing season, he grew more knowledgeable and adept. The first harvest was modest, but Amit found immense joy in seeing his hard work bear fruit – quite literally. Word about Amit’s organic lemons spread quickly. His dedication to quality and _________ farming practices earned him a loyal customer base. Local markets thrived, and even nearby cities demanded more of his produce. Amit’s venture not only brought him personal satisfaction but also boosted the local economy by providing employment opportunities. Looking back, Amit wondered why he hadn’t pursued this path sooner. He realised that sometimes, taking a risk and following one’s passion could lead to a life more rewarding than the safest corporate job. Through his journey, Amit Mishra discovered that true fulfilment lies in doing what one loves, even if it means starting from scratch and overcoming numerous obstacles.
