2. Kalam notes with admiration that his father maintained this exacting routine even into his late sixties.
3. This detail is included to demonstrate that spiritual discipline inevitably leads to extreme physical frailty.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: A
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. He maintained his routine into his late sixties.Structural Breakdown: The text uses a specific chronological marker ("late sixties") to amplify the magnitude of the physical feat (carrying a dozen coconuts over four miles). Historical/Related Context: In an era before modern healthcare and mechanization, maintaining such manual labor at nearly 70 years old was a testament to extraordinary health, which Kalam attributed to his father's unwavering spiritual and physical discipline.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is completely incorrect.
The detail is included to demonstrate exactly the opposite: that his spiritual and physical discipline led to incredible stamina and strength, not frailty.
