C. He was a steamboat pilot. As a child he loved to watch the schooners. Once he was older, he became part of a crew.
I am person who easily gets excited and disappointed.Even small things like watching a new movie in cinema or going out to restaurant gets me excited.
But here I would like to talk about something that made me really, really excited.It was the time when I went to an amusement park with my niece and nephew.My niece and nephew live in Canada and they visit India very rarely.
Two years ago, they had come to India with my sister for the summer vacations.
They love going to amusement park but because of summer heat I didn’t want to take them.It was a really hot summer and the temperatures were touching 40-45 degree Celsius.I was feeling very upset that I had to turn down their requests for taking them to the park every day.But one night it rained, and the temperatures came down a bit.
I decided I would get no better opportunity and so I immediately booked the entry tickets to the park online for the next day.
But I wanted to surprise my niece and nephew and thus I didn’t tell them that we were going to the park.
On the journey as well I kept them busy talking with me and hence, they never noticed that we were going there.
I was excited because I knew how thrilled they would be once we reached the park and they were elated.
They never expected it and it came as a huge surprise.
For the whole day, we tried different rides.
My nephew is a bit young and he was afraid, but my nine-year-old niece wanted to try rides even I was bit afraid of.
In the evening, they both gave a huge hug and thanked me for the surprise.
I can never express how I felt then.
I can just say that it was one of most memorable days of my life.
I am planning for another such surprise when they visit me next time.

<span>The correct answer is D. The theme of this excerpt is that the old can regain honor by taking up challenges again.
Here, the speaker notes that his mariners are old; however, he says, "old age hath yet his honour and toil." By this he means that their work need not be done.
It is still possible for them to regain their honor through toil. "Some work of noble note, may yet be done," he says, before they die. Therefore, the main theme of this excerpt is that the old can still gain honor by taking up challenges (or toil) again.</span>
