Directions (36-44): Read the following passage and 
answer the given questions. 
Solo travel is often romanticized in movies and travel blogs, 
yet the reality of venturing out alone requires not just 
enthusiasm, but a great deal of strength and conviction. For 
many, the idea of traveling solo is both exciting and 
intimidating. The freedom of making your own plans, 
waking up without a set schedule, and discovering new 
cultures at your own pace can be liberating. But it also 
comes with its own set of challenges that many people are 
hesitant to face. 
One of the first hurdles is the initial hesitation. People often 
fear loneliness, safety concerns, or simply the discomfort of 
doing things alone. A surprisingly common fear is eating 
alone in a public space. The thought of sitting in a restaurant 
without company, with others watching, makes many 
people self-conscious. They worry about what others might 
think, and this anxiety is sometimes enough to discourage 
them from solo travel altogether. 
However, those who do take the plunge often discover that 
the benefits far outweigh the fears. Solo travel builds 
resilience. It teaches you how to _____________ for yourself, 
how to plan with precision, and how to handle unexpected 
situations with calm. With every solo trip, travelers gain 
more confidence in their decisions, and a stronger sense of 
independence. 
Staying safe while traveling alone is, understandably, a top 
concern. This is where preparation becomes key. Carrying 
travel insurance, knowing emergency contacts, researching 
local customs, and keeping a close watch on surroundings 
are all essential parts of traveling alone responsibly. It's not 
about being paranoid, but about being prepared and aware. 
A solo traveler must learn to make smart choices that keep 
them safe while still allowing for exploration and adventure. 
Moreover, solo travel allows deep personal reflection. 
Without distractions, many travelers find a sense of peace 
and clarity. They meet new people not because they have to, 
but because they genuinely want to. They engage in 
conversations, take risks, and often come back home 
changed in subtle but meaningful ways. 
In the end, solo travel isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. But 
for those who are willing to move past hesitation and face 
the journey alone, it becomes a transformative experience. 
It is not just about seeing new places—it is about seeing 
oneself with new eyes, built on the foundation of courage, 
planning, and conviction.

(c) They fear social judgment and discomfort from 
performing solo activities in public. 
(d) They do not trust travel blogs or movies that romanticize 
solo travel experiences. 
(e) They believe that solo travel requires expert-level 
navigation and survival skills. 
 
Q37. What does the passage suggest about the 
emotional impact of solo travel? 
(a) It leaves people emotionally drained due to constant 
planning and vigilance. 
(b) It results in people becoming overly dependent on their 
personal routines. 
(c) It isolates individuals from meaningful social 
interactions and bonding. 
(d) It facilitates inner clarity and emotional growth through 
solitude. 
(e) It reinforces the notion that traveling alone should be 
avoided. 
 
Q38. According to the passage, which of the following is 
not mentioned as a way to stay safe during solo travel? 
(a) Buying travel insurance. 
(b) Keeping emergency contacts handy. 
(c) Avoiding crowded tourist spots. 
(d) Being aware of local customs. 
(e) Watching surroundings attentively

to the passage: 
(I) Solo travel always leads to social anxiety, even after 
repeated attempts.

solo travel fears.

through solo travel.
