Question

[107]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

Passage: Before electric lights and automatic signals, a lighthouse keeper lived alone for weeks on a rocky island or a lonely cliff, tending a lamp that ships depended on. Each evening he cleaned the great lens, trimmed the wick and lit the flame; through the night he watched that it never went out, even in storms when waves shook the tower. The work was lonely, but it was not meaningless. A single steady light could mean the difference between a ship reaching harbour and breaking on the rocks. Keepers kept careful logs of weather, passing ships and repairs, and those logs now help historians understand coastal life. Their story reminds us that quiet, repeated duty can save lives no one ever sees.
