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.

Samaira had always been an enthusiastic and optimistic young woman. However, despite her talents and dedication, she never had the opportunity to work until she turned 23. It was then that she discovered a chance to make a real difference. She joined a women-based organisation through the Empower Women, Secure Dignity (EWSD) Programme. This programme aimed to tackle the pressing issue of poverty, especially among women, by offering them the tools and support needed to become self-sufficient. On her first day, Samaira felt a rush of excitement as she stepped into the office. She was eager to learn and to contribute. She immersed herself in the organisation's mission and quickly began to understand the root causes of poverty and the ways they could combat it. She found herself deeply passionate about her work and determined to make each effort count. Over the years, Samaira took on different roles and responsibilities within the organisation. She collaborated on various projects aimed at empowering women through education, vocational training, and financial independence. Her dedication shone through in every task she undertook, whether it was devising new strategies, reaching out to underprivileged women, or leading workshops. One pivotal moment in her career came when she was given the shot to lead a major project. This initiative focused on providing entrepreneurial training to women in rural areas. Under her leadership, the project not only met but exceeded its goals. Thousands of women learnt new skills and started their own businesses, thereby lifting themselves and their families out of poverty.

As the years rolled on, Samaira continued to hit new milestones. Her innovative ideas and relentless drive helped the organisation expand its reach and impact. By the time she turned 40, Samaira’s contributions had significantly transformed the lives of countless women. Her work had helped break the cycle of poverty for many families and brought a sense of pride and empowerment to so many women who once felt hopeless. Reflecting on her journey, Samaira felt a deep sense of accomplishment. She had turned her passion for helping others into a successful career, one that had not only provided her with a sense of purpose but had also made a tangible difference in the world. The EWSD Programme had given her a platform to shine, and she in turn had given her all to ensure that every woman she worked with had the chance to do the same. Samaira’s story became an inspiration for many, a testament to what could be achieved with determination, compassion, and the right opportunity. She had not just found a job; she had found her ________. And in doing so, she had helped countless others find theirs too.
