Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Subjective. **(i) Journey to the End of the Earth:** The aim was to provide students with an inspiring educational opportunity to foster a new understanding and respect for our planet. It aimed to make them face reality, understand that global warming is real, and urge them to act with responsibility to save the Earth while they are young and impressionable. **(ii) The Enemy:** Dr. Sadao's father was a traditional yet ambitious man who inspired Sadao to dream big. Education was his chief concern; he spent infinite pains on him and sent him to America at the age of twenty-two to study surgery and medicine, paving the way for his success. **(iii) The Third Level:** The description highlights a peaceful world where summer evenings were twice as long, people sat out on their lawns leisurely, men smoked cigars and talked quietly, women waved palm-leaf fans, and someone played the piano, reflecting a serene and unhurried pace of life.
