There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for
worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground
which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has
tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished
harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of
that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work
made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and has done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall
give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

Which of the following does the author appear to highlight in this essay?

Being contented with the status quo

Knowing oneself better

Working hard and sincerely

Waiting for better opportunities

97. When is a man relieved and gay?

When he has untapped potential

When he has put his heart into his work and has done his best

When destiny smiles at him

When he achieves his goal

98. According to the author, God is not looking for to manifest his works.

Cowards

Stubborn people

Weaklings

All of these

99. What is that which only the person himself knows and must act in order to discover it?

His untapped potential

His destiny that lies in the future

The power which resides in him

The joy of achieving success

100. What does the word 'Manifest' mean?
