Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:

I have mentioned the names of some great ones of those times. One of the greatest of these, I have not yet mentioned. His name was Socrates. He was a philosopher, always searching for the truth. To him, the only thing worth having was the truth, and he often discussed difficult questions with his friends and acquaintances, so that out of the discussion, the truth might emerge. He had many disciples or chelas, and the greatest of these was Plato. From his books, we know a great deal of his master, Socrates. Evidently, governments do not like the search, trying to find out things: they held a trial and condemned him to death. They told him that if he promised to give up his discussion with people and changed his ways, they would let him off. But he refused to do so and preferred the cup of poison, which brought him death, for giving up what he considered his duty.

Rewrite the following sentence as instructed:

Plato wrote many books. (Rewrite the sentence using the past tense.)

The great advantage of early rising is the good start it gives us in our day’s work. The early riser can do a large amount of work before other men get out of bed. In the morning, the mind is fresh, and there are hardly any distractions. As such, the work done at this time is generally well done. In many cases, the early riser finds time to exercise that supplies him with a fund of energy until the evening. By beginning early, he knows that he has plenty of time to do thoroughly all the work that he is expected to do and is not tempted to hurry over any part of it.
All his work is finished in a good time, and he has a long interval of rest in the evening before the timely hour comes for going to bed. He gets to sleep and rises early next morning in good health and spirits for the labours of a new day.
