2. He tied about a dozen coconuts together and threw them over his shoulder to carry them the four miles back home.
3. This specific detail highlights his raw physical strength and bodily discipline, maintained even in his late sixties.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. He carried a dozen coconuts over his shoulder, showing immense physical strength.Structural Breakdown: The text provides a quantifiable measure of this endurance: the weight (about a dozen coconuts), the method (thrown over the shoulder), the distance (four miles), and the age of the man (late sixties). Historical/Related Context: Coconuts are heavy, water-dense fruits.
Carrying a dozen of them for four miles requires immense core and shoulder strength.
This visual left a lasting impression on Kalam regarding the dignity of hard, unassisted physical labor.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 1 is incorrect because Kalam explicitly notes his father carried them on his own shoulders, walking the distance, not using a carriage or cart.
