7.
To forgive an injury is often considered to be a sign of weakness; it is really a sign of strength. It is easy to allow oneself to be carried away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance; but it takes a strong character to restrain those natural passions. The man who forgives an injury proves himself to be the superior of the man who wronged himself and puts the wrong-doer to shame.

D is the correct answer. C is vague and doesn't address the issue comprehensively.

It should be c because it is positive paragraph while mercy and revenge word cannot be used to describe the positivity.

I answered C because "BUT it takes a STRONG CHARACTER to restrain those natural passions" - not everyone has that, and therefore C is correct. And for D, forgiveness is not the same as mercy, also not all who forgive seek revenge, some just moved on.

Hmm, I thought it showed character to forgive and strength I didn't realize we were talking about revenge, scarey truly I picked e because it showed the person is more intelligent shows more strength. A person with calm and composed nature has depth of thought and vision.

The answer should be C since the paragraph discussed the meaning of strength in light of surpassing natural passions. Understanding real strength within a person is acknowledging that one has to overcome his/her natural passion specially when it is being challenged by for instance injury. Hence, C is the answer because it supports the idea and context of strength in the given paragraph.

It has to be option D. The conclusion of the passage states the same. C is also correct but C is not describing the passage it is just describing a line but option D is summarizing the whole paragraph.
