Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Florence Nightingale did not like easy and pleasant occupations of society; instead of going out to parties she visited London hospitals and studied how sick people were nursed back to health and strength. She was shocked by the roughness and stupidity in those hospitals. She went out to Germany and France and learned there all she could about nursing. She returned to England and devoted herself to the hard task of improving the hospitals. Just then the Crimean War broke out. English soldiers went out singing to their death. But dreadful stories came home of wounded men being left to die. Everybody felt that something heroic must be done to put a stop to the sufferings of the brave soldiers. That was done by Florence Nightingale. She went to Crimea with about forty nurses and in a few months she brought order and comfort into what had been utter chaos and unspeakable misery.
