| Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: |
| If there is one thing that makes life worth living, it is love. |
| The gods too crave for a devotee's outpouring of love, very much like a devotee who longs for divine love. Love is essentially of two types - conditional and unconditional. |
| Conditional love entails the coming together of a set of criteria to be fulfilled. The criteria include promises, expectations, emotional pre-requisites, desires and sobering sacrifices by one or the other individual. It pieces together conditions, agreements and demands between loving individuals. |
| Unconditional love stands at a higher level. Ideally, love between parents and children is unconditional. But changing times and the engaging hand of Karma have diluted the rich essence to a concoction settled between conditional love and profound attachment. |
| Pure love manifests itself in an individual's thought, every spoken word and each shade of nature revealing the nuances of life to him or her. Love keeps the spark of life alive. |
| Although flashes of love, ego, affection, even obsession, sparkle in the stories of life in both plant and animal kingdoms, though not completely unconditional, human beings should strive hard. We need to abstain from violence in thought and deed to make the best of loving rain's benevolence on a peace-parched, earth. Only then life's purpose will be served. |

A) Promises
B) Expectations
C) Promotion
D) Desire
