Read the following extract carefully and answer the questions given below:
Sadao knew that his education was his father's chief concern. For this reason he had been sent at twenty two to America to learn all that could be learned of surgery and medicine. He had come back at thirty, and before his father died he had seen Sadao become famous not only as a surgeon but as a scientist. Because he was perfecting a discovery which would render wounds entirely clean, he had not been sent abroad with the troops. Also, he knew, there was some slight danger that the old General might need an operation for a condition for which he was now being treated medically, and for this possibility Sadao was being kept in Japan.

Yes, in spite of all
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon.
Trees old, an young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills.

Read the following extract carefully and answer the questions given below:
It had happened when I was ten or eleven years old. I had decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y.M.C.A. in Yakima that offered exactly the opportunity. The Yakima river was treacherous. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y.M.C.A. pool was safe. It was only two or three feet deep at the shallow end; and while it was nine feet deep at the other, the drop was gradual. I got a pair of water wings and went to the pool. I hated to walk naked into it and show my skinny legs. But I subdued my pride and did it.
