Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: "Lolup (greedy) men seldom find time for any real religion. Driven by lust and anger they live only for themselves and seek happiness in hoarding wealth. They revel in self-conceit, misuse the power of speech and never hesitate in insulting others if that serves their purpose. Their desires know no bounds; food, dress, comfort – nothing can ever satisfy them. Blinded by greed they squander all their energies in fulfilling base wishes. Even the noblest feelings like compassion, modesty or truth appear meaningless to them. When greed grips their mind they can neither feel others’ pain nor distinguish between right and wrong." (a) Give a suitable title to the passage. (b) On the basis of the passage, list the characteristics of greedy people. (c) Make a précis of the above passage.
