Question 691

IBPS Clerk 2022• English Language• English Language

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who owned a small jewellery shop in a quaint town. He was well-known for his exquisite designs and excellent craftsmanship. Jack was also a proud brother of a talented athlete named Max, who was a rising star in the world of track and field. However, the year 2020 brought a lot of pain and suffering to the world as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe. Tragically, Max became one of the millions of people who lost their lives to the virus. Jack was shattered by the news and struggled to come to terms with the loss of his beloved brother.

As days passed, Jack realized that he needed to do something to honor Max's memory and keep his love for sports alive. He decided to create a sports academy for young athletes in the town, where they could train and develop their skills, just like his brother did. Jack poured all his energy and resources into setting up the academy. He called it "Solid Far Sports Academy," inspired by Max's never-give-up attitude, which always pushed him to go solid and far beyond his limits. The academy quickly gained popularity, and young athletes from all around the town began to flock to it, eager to learn from the best coaches and facilities. Jack was proud of what he had accomplished, and he knew that Max would have been too.

Over time, the academy became a symbol of hope and inspiration for the young athletes. They learned not just about sports, but also about the importance of perseverance, hard work, and determination, which are the same qualities that Max embodied during his career. Jack found great comfort in seeing the academy thrive and grow. It was his way of keeping his brother's legacy alive and sharing his love for sports with others. He knew that Max would have been proud of the impact that the Solid Far Sports Academy had on the young athletes in the town.

In conclusion, Jack turned his grief into something positive by creating the Solid Far Sports Academy to honor his brother's memory. The academy not only helped young athletes develop their skills but also served as a reminder of the power of love and dedication, which can overcome even the toughest challenges in life.
