Que. 1 Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions:
Motivational literature aimed at youth has become a staple in bookstores worldwide. With their
aesthetically pleasing covers and powerful testimonials, these books claim to invigorate young readers and pave
their way towards success. Despite these promising attributes, the effectiveness of such books raises quite a
debate. The sheer number of these motivational compilations is, in itself, an overwhelming sight. They purport a
version of reality wherein success and growth are distilled into actionable tips and methodologies easily
consumed by an impressionable audience. However, there is a belief that such convenience brings complexities
of its own. Motivation, inherently a personal and subjective experience, is often simplified in these books. They
offer a sequence of simplified steps, a 'one-size-fits-all' path towards success. Though such guidance might
temporarily inspire, it rarely contributes to long-lasting motivation, rendering them ineffective in the long run. A
central issue lies in the external nature of motivation these books attempt to foster. It's widely accepted that
motivation should be an intrinsic quality, a self-ignited passion driving one forward, even in the face of adversity.
This motivation, which develops from introspection, life experiences, and personal values, cannot be derived
from predetermined methods or uniform strategies.
Additionally, there is an inherent difficulty to retain the fleeting inspiration these books might induce. The
motivational surge often experienced during or shortly after reading is seldom sustainable. Over time, as the
realities of daily life resume, the inspiration diminishes, leaving readers at their starting point, sometimes even
more demotivated than before. Are these observations an indictment of youth motivation books? Not entirely.
These books undoubtedly play their part. They provide practical tips, inspiration from shared stories, and can
even stimulate one's journey of self-growth and discovery. They expose readers to new ways of thinking and
provide alternate life perspectives. However, a cautious approach towards accepting these books as the definitive
path to success is recommended. They are not magic solutions or silver bullets, as they often portray themselves
to be. They should be seen as only one element of a broader journey towards self-growth and development. The
youth, while inspired by these motivational reads, should understand that lasting motivation can only be derived
from within themselves. It is fuelled by their impassioned desires, intrinsic values, and dreams. So, while
motivational literature has its place, the youth are encouraged to primarily cultivate their own intrinsic
motivation that can withstand the test of time.
What is a synonym for the term 'sheer' as used in the passage?

They disrupt the reading habits of the youth 2.
They oversimplify the subjective nature of motivation 3.
