Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:

Joycee is not only beautiful but bold too. Having bright eyes, slim and smart, she is the first woman in the city to work at a petrol pump! With a warm and welcoming smile on her pretty face, she performs her job with zeal and enthusiasm.
One after another, vehicle stops in front of her... ”Kitna dalna hai?” She asks very confidently, and then… on goes the pump meter. Her eyes revetted on the meter; she is quick and careful enough to stop it as soon as it reaches the right figure. Simple though it may seem, the job needs both strength and courage, especially for the woman; strength for it is a continuous and tiring job without any rest, except for a short lunch break and courage because she is working  in an exclusively male-dominated domain!
It was her husband who encouraged her to take up the job, after reading an advertisement in a local daily for woman petrol pump worker.
Even during those days when Joycee was disappointed, he motivated her to continue. “Ignore them and continue your work,” was his gentle advice. Joycee remembers these encouraging words of her husband, to whom she owes a lot of her success.

The story of Egypt is the story of the land. Without the Nile, Egypt would have been a desert from end to end. This river, with its network of irrigation, has kept the desert at bay and has given Egypt the fertile area of the Nile valley and the Delta of Lower Egypt. Almost all her riches spring from the land which is cultivated by about ten million peasants in much the same way and with the same implements as were used by the ancient Egyptians. Each year the river rises and spreads its water. In winter, the flood begins to go down. Until modern times there was always the danger of drought till the next season’s rains. Modern engineering is solving the problem by holding back the surplus flood water by means of a great dam at Assuan several hundred miles up the Nile.
