Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: A
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The divine power lifts people from misery and guides them to their true place.Structural Breakdown: The journey is sequential: suffering (confusion/failure) -> intervention (divine power lifting the person) -> destination (the true place). Historical/Related Context: Throughout his autobiography, Kalam discusses his initial failures (like not making it into the Air Force) as painful but necessary detours organized by divine providence to lead him to his "true place" in rocket engineering.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because the "true place" is a spiritual and existential concept, not a literal physical chair or location inside a temple.
