Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Without effort there can be no progress in life. Life loses its interest if there is no struggle or competition. Games become dull if there is no real contest in them, if the result can be easily foreseen. No matter who wins or loses the game, the keener the contest, the greater the enjoyment. A victory is not a true triumph unless both the sides are almost equally matched. Life is, so to speak, a prolonged test that may be pleasant or unpleasant to us.
a) When does life lose it interest?
b) When do games turn dull?
c) When do we have greater enjoyment in games?
d) When is victory counted not a real triumph?
e) What is life, as the writer looks at it?
