Correct Answer

D

Explanation

The correct option is D. Statement 1 can be inferred from the 6th sentence of the 1st paragraph. Somendra, the merchant, was determined and ready to get all the lashes in spite of all the pain he was bearing. It clearly shown that he was persevering. Statement 2, hence, is true. Statement 3 can also be inferred from the 8th sentence of the 1st paragraph. All the statements, therefore, are true.
