Question Numbers: 91-99Directions : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:1. Generosity is one of the most admired attributes any person can exhibit. Whether a child donates his hard-earned allowance to a disaster-relief effort or a businessmen donates millions of dollars to charity, we feel appreciation and admiration for those who are generous, but admiration and appreciation are not the only benefits of generosity. Solomon promises that those who are generous will never lack for anything-every true need will be provided-and that you will prosper, and your prosperity will always increase.2. Psychologists tell us that the two motivating forces in a persons' life are their desire for gain and their fear of loss. Solomon promises that generosity directly impacts both. If you could wave a magic wand that you would experience as ever-increasing prosperity, how much would that wand be worth?3. A truly generous person is one who freely gives a significant portion of what he has to meet the needs of others without any expectation of receiving anything in return. Being generous means being focused on meeting the genuine needs of other people, whether with money, deeds or emotional support or assistance.A lot of people think that you have to be rich to be generous. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the most generous persons I have known was a janitor I worked with in college. He scrubbed toilets five nights a week and took care of his bed-ridden wife during the day. He was generous with everything he had: his time, his kind words his thoughtfulness and his considerate acts. I once asked him if there was anything he needed. "Heavens no", he replied. "Everything I have ever needed has always been abundantly provided." To this day, I have never met a happier man. As Solomon promised, he never lacked anything; and just as he refreshed others, he was himself refreshed.
