I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: IF and WHEN were friends. Every week they met and their conversation usually centered on all the things they were going to achieve. This particular Saturday when they met, WHEN sensed that IF was not in a great mood. WHEN questioned IF, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem your usual cheery self?" IF looked at WHEN and replied, "I just don't feel I am making any progress. Last week I saw a course and wanted to take if only I had the time to take it." WHEN knew exactly how IF felt. "I too saw a course and I am going to register when I get enough money." said WHEN, "What about that new job you were going to apply for? You were so excited about it last week." IF responded, "If my computer didn't break down last week, I would have applied. So I could not type my resume." "Don't worry about it.When you are ready another job will come through. I have been thinking about looking for another job too, but I will wait and when the weather gets nicer I will look then." WHEN then went on to tell IF about his week, hoping that it would cheer him up a bit. The man at the next table couldn't help overhearing WHEN and IF. "Excuse me gentlemen," the man said. Surprised, IF and WHEN both looked at the man. The man continued, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help hearing your conversation. I think I know how you could solve your problems." Curious, IF asked the gentleman, "How do you think you can solve our problems?" The gentleman smiled and said, "You only need to listen to yourselves. It reminds me of an old proverb: ' _ '." The gentleman went on, "Just start doing, take action, and stop talking about 'if and when'." IF and WHEN suddenly realized that what the gentleman had said was so true. Both of them were guilty of thinking and living their life for the "ifs and whens". The gentleman left and their conversation changed. They made up their mind that when they met for lunch next week, there would be no "ifs and whens"; they would only talk about what they accomplished! Soon another week came. Question: IF was not in a good mood because _ . Options: A: he failed to arrange time for a course B: he missed a course for lack of money C: he was upset by the bad weather D: he was not satisfied with his resume

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I work in a busy Emergency Room( E. R. ) . This weekend, I had a patient who was very nervousand paranoid. After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. There is an immediate prejudice against substance abuse in my E. R. One -we do not have a detox facility.The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment than other serious physical " ailments" . At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties, was very weak and had a generally aggressive character. He could not sit still and had a cough. He had not had a drink in four days. His hands were shaking and there was a scared look in his eyes. He told me that he began drinking about age 11 when his mother supplied him with it. He had tried to quit many times before but had not been able to." So . what's different this time ?"I asked. "Because I'm starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don't want to be. I ca:n see that I'm changing into something else. " That answer helped change my attitude toward him. I could see the pain behind his eyes. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol. He was desperate for help, but not so sure that his condition could be changed. I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises . Sometimes we have to undress it. It's worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help ,despite us not having a detox facility. Question: What conclusion can we draw from the passage? Options: A: Where there is a will, there's a way. B: A friend in need is a friend indeed. C: Never judge a book by its cover. D: Good is rewarded with good.
