उत्तर
This line refers to the dialogue:
"And indeed it is no small sacrifice that the town is going to make."
It is said by Peter Stockmann in his conversation with Aslaksen and Hovstad when he visits the office of the local newspaper in order to convince them to not print the doctor‘s report. The dialogue is clearly uttered as a way of letting them know that the consequences of publishing the report will be faced by the general public. By pointing out that their own interests are at stake, the Mayor successfully manipulates them into withdrawing their support for Dr. Stockmann.

It's doing your job the best you can,

And being true to your aims and ends.

And looking forward and thinking high;
And dreaming a little and doing much,
It's keeping always in closest touch.

It's being through, yet making speed;
It's daring blithely the field of chance,
While making labour a brave romance.

And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet;
It's struggling on with the will to win,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin.

The passage given below is on Kabbadi. Read the passage and complete the activities that follow.
Kabbadi (கபடி - in Tamil) is a contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is also popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Telangana.
Kabbadi is played between two teams of seven players: the objective of the game is for a single player on offence referred to as a 'raider', to run in to the opposing teams half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court–all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be 'revived' for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. The raider should hold his breath and utter the words like 'kabbadi kabbadi, hututu hututu, chadu kudu' etc. while the opponents try to catch him. If he stops uttering these words, he is considered out.
The game is known by its regional names in different parts of the subcontinent, such as Kabbadi or Chedugudu in Andhra Pradesh, Kabbadi in Kerala and Telangana, Hadudu in Bangladesh, Bhavatik in Maldives, Kauddi or Kabbadi in the Punjab Region, Hu-Tu-Tu in Western India and Hu-Do-Do in Eastern India and Chadakudu in South India. The highest governing body of Kabbadi is the International Kabbadi Federation.
