Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. We don’t have to do anything to be born into a community – in fact, no one has any choice about which family or community or country they are born into.

It is an odd fact of social life that people feel a deep sense of security and satisfaction in belonging to communities in which their membership is entirely accidental. We often identify so strongly with communities we have done nothing to ‘deserve’ – passed no exam, demonstrated no skill or competence… This is very unlike belonging to, say, a profession or team.
