Money changed hands, and the guards then let those people quietly through a small door to the side.

Which answer best conveys the central idea of the passage?

That Ghulam Ali was certainly a good man, so patient with us and so compassionate. He had never seen us before, and yet when he met us, he said, "I will help you." That's the thing about life. You never know when and where you will encounter a spot of human decency. I have felt alone in this world at times; I have known long periods of being no one. But then, without warning, a person like Ghulam Ali just turns up and says, "I see you. I am on your side." Strangers have been kind to me when it mattered most. That sustains a person's hope and faith.

• Ghulam Ali is a good person.

• Ghulam Ali was a stranger to the narrator.

• The narrator feels lonely.

• The kindness of others can save a person in dark times.
