Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.The man who is perpetually hesitating which of the two things he will do first, will do neither. The man who resolves, but suffers his resolution to be changed by the first counter-suggestion of a friend-who fluctuates from opinion to opinion and veers from plan to plan-can never accomplish anything. He will at best be stationary and probably retrograde in all. It is only the man who first consults wisely, then resolves firmly and then executes his purpose with inflexible perseverance, undismayed by those petty difficulties which daunt a weaker spirit-that can advance to eminence in any line.The keynote that seems to be emerging from the passage is that
Awe should first consult wisely and then resolve firmly
Bwe should reject suggestions of friends and remain unchanged
Cwe should always remain broad-minded
Dwe should be resolute and achievement-oriented
