Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.

Mandela recollects that it was almost impossible for a black man in south Africa to fulfill his obligation to his family and society because of the system of apartheid practiced by the white rulers. He began to hanker after freedom when he realized that his freedom had been taken away from him when he reached manhood. He yearned for the basic and honorable freedoms of achieving his potential, of marrying, having a family-the freedom not to be obstructed in a lawful life. When Mandela realized that not only his freedom was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like him was also curtailed. That's when he joined the African national Congress and that is when the hunger for his own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of his people.
