Read the passage given below carefully and select the correct options as your answers to the questions that follow it. I was never a great athlete but I managed to win a prize once. My house-master reckoned I might have a chance to win. We were each given three jumps. I thought I jumped very well the first time but it was a foul jump. So I waited for my next jump. I saw the other competitors leap like gazelles into the sand-pit. When one particular tall boy, the eventual winner, made his jump, I knew that no one else would be able to beat him. No one did. I was delighted to collect my little plastic Consolation Prize from the Headmaster. What was the prize that the author won?

• A.  First Prize          
• B.  Consolation Prize  
• C.  Second Prize                    
• D.  No Prize
