Section – Reading Comprehension

Q. Read the following passage and answer the given questions.

Hardships made Abraham Lincoln develop a deep sense of self-confidence that he fully leveraged
throughout his entire adult life. But perhaps his greatest inspiration came from an intransigent belief
that he had a purpose to fulfil.

Apparently, at a very early age, Lincoln set his sights on "engraving his name in history." "Every man is
said to have his peculiar ambition," he wrote. "I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed
by fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem."

With America greatly divided over slavery, and at the height of a Civil War that already had taken the
lives of hundreds of thousands of men, Lincoln was certain that his purpose was to preserve the greatest
democracy the world had ever known, and to ensure its "government of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Tied to the conviction that his work was intrinsically important, it was Lincoln who consistently found
the courage to invigorate the spirits of his cabinet and troops during the country’s most dire and
desperate hours.
