A.1. Read the passage carefully :

It was the worst natural calamity that independent India has ever seen with unfathomable human misery and destruction all around, as one of the most progressive States of India, Gujarat was hit by a massive earthquake on India‟s Republic Day, this year. Parts of Ahmedabad and most of the towns and villages in Kutch District were razed to the ground. High-rise buildings collapsed like a pack of cards trapping hundreds upon thousands of people, with a few lucky ones scrambling to safety and a few rescued by civilians, defence service personnel and relief personnel from foreign countries. The number of dead is said to be more than35,000, but one would never know the exact number, as few can estimate as to how many lay dead under the collapsed concrete structures. Some one guessed that the dead could be in the range of 100,000 and nobody has challenged, for everybody knew that not all the bodies could be recovered. And the number of the injured must be running into lakhs.

The entire country, nay, the entire world, rose like one man to extend a helping hand to all those affected by the gruesome tragedy.
