Question

What is adventure's most potent ingredient?

• A. A spirit undaunted by threatening dangers, a spirit that spurs one to action voluntarily and to pursue treks untrodden and inhospitable
• B. A spirit that drives people to volunteer to undertake tasks where there is no danger or difficulty
• C. Fearlessness is the most important ingredient of adventure
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A spirit undaunted by threatening dangers, a spirit that spurs one to action voluntarily and to pursue treks untrodden and inhospitable

The passage says that though the word 'adventure' embraces a company of other great words like courage, tenacity,
selflessness and faith; "its most potent ingredient cannot be expressed in one word." The author then goes on to describe this "potent ingredient" as the "spirit that urges men to volunteer to
undertake hazardous tasks" because "adventure implies the readiness and desire to embark on a course of action that entails risk." In this context, option A is the best answer.
