Read the following text carefully and answer the questions 5, 6 and 7.

Mother Teresa is a dedicated soul like Sister Nibedita. Both of them were originally foreigners, but made this region their home. Teresa was born in 1910 at Skopje, a small village in Macedonia (then Yogoslavia). Her earlier name was Agnes. At eighteen, she decided to become a nun; so she came to India in 1928 and became an Indian citizen. Thus though she was an Albanian, she became an Indian by choice. She started her life in Kolkata as a teacher in a convent school, but soon the mother in her cried for the suffering of the poor and the downtrodden. Her "Nirmal Hridoy" at Kalighat became the shelter of the suffering people. Her activities have now been spread all over the world. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She was awarded 'Bharat Ratna Award' for the year 1980. It was very surprising that even at a ripe old age she intensely did her selfless service for mankind, irrespective of caste and creed. She breathed her last on 5th September, 1997 at the age of 87.
