Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

This year, I celebrated twenty-five years with a Seeing Eye dog. When I came to "The Seeing Eye' in 1983, I had no idea how much my canine partner would do for me. I can well remember walking down a country road independently, with a light step and joy in my heart, knowing that Novel, my first Seeing Eye dog, would keep me safe.

Since that glorious beginning, my dogs have seen me through two university degrees while living in four different cities in Canada and the United States. These competent and loving guides have shown me amazing skills, keeping me safe from traffic, fallen trees, new places, and a host of unseen dangers. I have acquired self-confidence and a faith that anything is possible with my dog by my side. Over the years, my dogs have always been a source of pride and pleasure for me, and I brag about them to my family and friends.

Today, the way young Rambo manoeuvres me through the rush-hour traffic is wonderful. But it is all those little things, like finding a table at a restaurant finding empty cubicles at the physical therapy clinic where I work, that can mean so much more. Rambo is my sixth guide, who arrived in June 2008 after Ruskin left me. He has already established himself in my heart. He is guiding me through another chapter in my life. I wish to thank all my friends at 'The Seeing Eye' for the support they have offered me over the years. I also thank them for being like family and, most importantly, for being there to train these furry soul-mates so well!

Question :  Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

Is there any difference between "genius" and "talent" ? We generally feel that a man of genius is in some way higher than a man of talent; and that talented men are more common than genius. This is true, but it is rather vague. Genius implies "very extraordinary gifts or native powers, especially as displayed in original creation, discovery, expression or achievement; phenomenal capacity regarded as relatively independent of instruction and training". Talent, on the other hand, consists of "mental endowments or capacities of superior character; marked mental ability". "Talent" is more the capacity to learn to do a thing well; but "genius" is an inborn inspiration that drives a man to do a thing with original excellence. As Meredith said, "Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can".
Shakespeare in drama and poetry, Isaac Newton in science, Napoleon in war, Beethoven in music, were geniuses; many well-known poets, scientists, generals and musicians have been men of talent.
