Read the following extract carefully and answer the following questions:

 Speaking as her son, however, I would add that I personally believe that by her own dedication and personal sacrifice she has come to be a worthy symbol through whom the plight of all the people of Burma may be recognised. And no one must underestimate the plight. The plight of those in the countryside and towns, living in – poverty and destitution, those in prison, battered and tortured; the plight of the young people, the hope of Burma, dying of malaria in the jungles to which they have fled; that of the Buddhist monks, beaten and dishonoured, nor should be forget the many senior and highly respected leaders besides my mother who are all incarcerated. It is on their behalf that I thank you, from my heart, for this supreme honour. The Burmese people can today hold their heads a little higher in the knowledge that in this far distant land their suffeing has been heard and heeded.

Questions:

(i) Whose own dedication and personal sacrifice are expressed here?

 (ii) Whose plight is referred to here?

(iii) What does the speaker say about the young people of Burma?

(iv) Why can the Burmese people hold their heads a little higher?

(v) Trace out a word in the passage, which means ‘imprisoned’.
