DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

It is not luck but labour that makes men. Luck says an American writer, is ever waiting for something to turn up, labour with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labour turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labour watches. Luck relies on chance, labour on character. Luck slips downwards to self­indulgence; labour strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore, is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck; in other words, that a man’s success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.

A) A sad or disappointing news.

A) Retreat

B) March

C) Delay

D) Wait

28. What is the meaning of the proverb ‘diligence is the mother of good luck’?

A) If a person is born in a rich and aristocratic family, he is considered lucky.

B) If one works carefully and constantly, one’s chances of being successful will be much greater.
