Each of the following questions contains a small paragraph followed by a question on it. Read each paragraph carefully and answer the question given below it.

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.

The passage best supports' the statement that:
the sufferer alone knows the intensity of his sufferings.
people tend to forgive the things happened in the past.
natural passions are difficult to suppress.
mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
a person with calm and composed nature has depth of thought and vision.

C is the correct option if not please help me.

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.

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

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