    Direction: In the following questions, you have several brief passages with some questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
     
    Passage - IV
    Failure and success are the go of life. Constant efforts despite initial setbacks have brought us from the chrysalis of failure into the bright opportunity of triumphs. The conquest of Everest is a fitting example. Success eluded men of nearly twenty-five years. The leaders of an unsuccessful expedition stated, "Everest cannot add to its heights, but spirit of man heightens even under repulse." Subsequent conquest of Everest has proved the truth of this. Indeed, every new-born day is in itself an opportunity teeming with splendid chances for those who are alert, wide awake and aspiring.
    In the passage, 'chrysalis of failure' means that

    A) failure involves a closed situation from which one cannot escape  

    B) failure can be compared to pupa of the gold coloured butterflies

    C)  failure is a transitional state

    D) as an insect emerges in a different shape from chrysalis, so a human being turns different after every failure

    Correct Answer: D
