Questions 1 and 2 refer to the following passage.  \nThe following non-fictional passage gives an account of the mythical city of gold known as El Dorado, with a focus on an Englishman’s expedition.  \nThe Quest for El Dorado  \nIdeas should be treasured, but should all ideas be pursued? What if an idea snowballs into an obsession? El Dorado lured many Europeans who fancied it to be unimaginably rich in gold, silver, and precious stones. With tales of El Dorado's grandeur filling his thoughts, one such explorer was Walter Raleigh, an Elizabethan scholar, statesperson, and courtier. He believed  \n5 that discovering El Dorado would not only bring him immense riches but also elevate his status in the eyes of Queen Elizabeth and secure his place in history. Little did he know that this pursuit would lead him down a perilous path fraught with hardships, and ultimately, despair.  \nIn February 1595, Raleigh sailed to Guiana in South America with five ships and a hundred adventurers. They used various boats and a native pilot familiar with the coast. Raleigh reached  \n10 Trinidad, attacked San Joseph, and captured Spanish governor Antonio de Berrio. Berrio provided information about the rumored city of El Dorado and guided Raleigh through the territories he had explored in search of El Dorado in 1592. Raleigh then proceeded up the Orinoco River towards the Guiana highlands.  \nThe voyagers faced numerous obstacles, such as stormy weather, treacherous sandbanks, and  \n15 the shallow waters of the basin. Even Raleigh's trusted native pilot, once believed to be knowledgeable, struggled to navigate the complex water routes. After enduring four tiring days of oppressive heat, the explorers reached a smoother passage. The crew persevered in their unyielding search for El Dorado, fueled by the hope of uncovering the fabled treasures that had lured them to Guiana. As they sailed deeper into the heart of Guiana, the explorers encountered  \n20 dense jungles. Raleigh guided his crew to overcome each obstacle that stood in their way.  \nThe crew’s unwavering commitment pushed them to journey around 150 miles along the Orinoco and reach the Caroni River's confluence. After a long struggle against the river's current, Raleigh stood before its might and rowed upstream.
