Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: A
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. He returned with a dozen coconuts on his shoulder before having breakfast.Structural Breakdown: The action highlights the yield of the labor (about a dozen coconuts), the method of transport (tied together, over the shoulder), and the sequence of daily sustenance (breakfast strictly following the labor). Historical/Related Context: This routine starkly contrasts with modern sedentary lifestyles.
It taught young Kalam that sustenance and meals must be earned through honest, hard physical exertion.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because Kalam explicitly mentions that his father maintained this exacting, physically demanding routine even into his late sixties, without delegating it.
