Q.2

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
08
A similar zeal and determination emanated out of Mother Teresa (1910-1997). While Marie Curie died cradling nascent scientific ideas; Mother Teresa took the dying and cradled them. She persuaded Calcutta that leprosy was not contagious and got the leprosy-afflicted to build a self-supporting colony at Titagarh. Her biographer Navin Chawala, writes that one of her happiest memories was of the man who said as he lay dying In her lap, "All my life I have lived like an animal on the streets and now I am dying like an angel." Her prized children, often without limbs or with terminal diseases, were whom she would rescue from dustbins. From a single school which she started in a Calcutta slum in 1948; the Missionaries of Charity founded by her spread throughout the world. It rendered the selfless service to destitute and the needy. The Order provided in a year, food to half a million hungry children in five continents, treated a quarter of million sick, taught over 20,000 slum children and ran homes for the mentally destitute, the leprosy-afflicted, aids patients, the crippled and alcoholics and drug abusers. Her concern for the marginalized is unparalled. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979. Who will continue this legacy? I feel science in doing that. Empowered with science, thousands of human have raised themselves to angelic heights. Rightly applied, science is no less effective and palliative than the works of Madam Curie and Mother Teresa. Science is, indeed, a boon bestowed upon humanity. It has already affected fundamental changes in the ground rules of the world in favour of the underprivileged.

I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread. Freedom Is a strong seed Planted In a great need. I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you. -Langston Hughes
