Read the given passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the four given alternatives.

She was unique in many ways. Before her, no woman writer in Hindi had written with such boldness and disregard for inhibitions about expressing a woman’s sexuality and looking at human relationships with a female gaze. Although Mahadevi Verma had raised many a women’s issues in her prose writings, what Krishna Sobti (February 18, 1925 – January 25, 2019) did was fundamentally different in approach. She was not a 'neer bhari dukh ki badali' (a water-carrying cloud of sorrow) like Verma but a tough writer whose novel and short stories had tough women characters who were not embarrassed by their sexuality and physical needs.

She displayed the same fearlessness when forces of intolerance, aided and abetted by the brute power of the state, began to forcibly stifle dissent and create a pervasive atmosphere of intimidation and fear. At a public meeting held at Mavalankar Auditorium in October 2015 to protest against growing intolerance in the country and the targeted assassinations of journalists, writers and public intellectuals, she delivered such a gutsy speech sitting on a wheelchair that the overflowing audience was spellbound and gave her a standing ovation. In a powerful gesture of protest, she returned not only her Sahitya Akademi award but also relinquished its Fellowship. According to the Akademi website, "the highest honour conferred by the Akademi on a writer is by electing him as its Fellow. This honour is reserved for ‘the immortals of literature’ and limited to twenty-one only at any given time."

For some years, Krishna Sobti had not been keeping well. She could not personally receive the prestigious Jnanpith award on February 10, 2018, as she was in the hospital. But, she had such great jest for life that only eight days later, she celebrated her 93rd birthday in the company of her relatives, friends and admirers at her East Delhi home. Besides being a great writer, she was also a great host.
