Exercise 5 – Sample Paragraph 
Riya read two different stories about Aarav and Meera and understood a common message by combining ideas from both. Aarav showed physical courage by helping a lost puppy in the rain, even though he was scared. Meera showed moral courage by speaking the truth in class, even when she felt nervous. By synthesizing these ideas, Riya realized that courage can appear in different forms but always means doing the right thing. This shows that even in different situations, people can demonstrate similar values through their actions.
