Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Literature is tightly called 'the brain of humanity'. Just as the brain preserves every experience or sensation and judges a fresh experience or sensation in the light of the acquired knowledge or experience so humanity at large has a record of its past in literature. Its present conditions, problems and circumstances can best be examined and understood for it is a record available through literature. Literature is fundamentally an expression of life through the medium of language. It is the storehouse of individual human experience and also of experiences of the human race in general. It does not simply record human deeds and actions nor does it concern itself much with man and his social, political and economic activities. It is concerned chiefly with man's inner life - our passions, emotions and feelings. A description of outward human life is just the means and not the end in literature. Man's outer life is studied and examined to understand him thoroughly and folly. Hence literature is concerned with human thinking and feeling - how we think and solve our problems - ethical, moral, emotional and spiritual.
