Question

Read the following extract and answer the questions:

‘Danger seems terrible from a distance; it is not so bad if you have a close look at it.’

Explain, with an example, how ‘danger’ adds zest to life.

Answer 1

Danger often seems more frightening when we imagine it from afar. When we face it calmly, we can understand and manage it; overcoming the risk also brings excitement and a sense of achievement. For example, a mountain climber faces danger on a difficult ascent, but meeting the challenge makes the climb more thrilling and rewarding.
