Read the following passage carefully and answer Questions 21 to 25:
I have travelled to many countries and have met with men of all classes, but never in my travels did I feel the presence of the human so distinctly as in this land. In other great countries, signs of man’s power-loomed largely, and I saw vast organizations which showed efficiency in all their features. There, display and extravagance, in dress, in furniture, in costly entertainments, are startling. They seem to push you back into a corner, like a poor intruder at a feast; they are apt to make you envious or take your breath away in amazement. There, you do not feel man as supreme; you are hurled against stupendous things that alienate. But in Japan, it is not the display of power or wealth that is the predominating element. You see everywhere emblems of love and admiration, and not mostly of ambition and greed.
