Passage 3 In the heart of the ancient city lies the enigmatic Forbidden Library, an imposing structure guarded by centuries-old secrets. For generations, the library has intrigued young minds, and teenagers, in particular, have been drawn to its mystical allure. No one knows who built it, but the stories tell of a wise sage who wished to safeguard powerful knowledge from falling into the wrong hands. One evening, Sarah, a curious teenager, could no longer resist the temptation to venture into the Forbidden Library. Armed with a flickering lantern and a tinge of fear, she tiptoed through the dimly lit corridors. Dusty tomes lined the shelves, and ancient scrolls whispered forgotten tales. The library seemed to possess a life of its own, and Sarah felt a mix of awe and trepidation. As she delved deeper, Sarah stumbled upon a hidden chamber with a peculiar riddle inscribed on the wall: "In darkness veiled, seek truth concealed, Unlock the door, let wisdom revealed. With courage bright, the path ignite, And ancient knowledge you shall invite." Intrigued, Sarah pondered the riddle's meaning, searching for hidden clues that would unravel the mysteries of the library. Hours turned into days as she immersed herself in deciphering the cryptic message. Days passed, and Sarah's determination never wavered. She consulted ancient languages, solved intricate puzzles, and explored forgotten manuscripts. Each step brought her closer to the elusive answers hidden within the library's depths. Finally, the breakthrough came when Sarah stumbled upon an ancient key that matched the riddle's description. With trembling hands, she inserted the key into a hidden keyhole, and the door before her creaked open. Beyond the door lay a vast chamber filled with ancient tomes of knowledge. Sarah marveled at the wealth of information and the secrets that lay within her grasp. She realized that the true treasure of the Forbidden Library was not just the knowledge it held, but the journey of self-discovery and perseverance that led her to it. Q1. What is the main theme of the passage?
