Q.7 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end: (10)
Early rising is a good habit as it gives us an early start to our day’s work. We gain time while the late risers are asleep. The early risers have another advantage also, and that is that they enjoy good and sound health. Those who are out of bed early have plenty of time to do their work carefully, steadily, and completely. They do not have to put off anything for the next day. The early riser is always happy, fresh, and smart. He enjoys his work, while those who get up late find their duty dull and dry and do it unwillingly. Early rising is, therefore, a key to success in life.
Questions:
(i) What kind of habit is early rising?
(ii) Why can an early riser do more work than the late riser?
(iii) Why does an early riser enjoy good health?
(iv) Why does a late riser find his work dull and dry?
