The first 3 of 30 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.

  1. Q1. When the King praised the four men as having minds that are 'rare and highly valued', what quality was he chiefly rewarding?

    • A. Their skill in handling and caring for camels
    • B. Their keen power of observation and logical deduction
    • C. Their long years of travel and experience of the world
    • D. Their courage in arguing boldly with a wealthy merchant
    Solution

    The King valued their power to observe closely and reason to correct conclusions — their power of deduction.

  2. Q2. Consider these statements about the ending of the play: (i) The King realised the men had reasoned from observation, not stolen the camel. (ii) The King punished the four men for troubling the merchant. (iii) The King appointed the men as his advisers. Which statements are correct?

    • A. (i), (ii) and (iii)
    • B. (ii) and (iii) only
    • C. (i) and (iii) only
    • D. (i) and (ii) only
    Solution

    The King understood their innocence and rewarded their wisdom with posts as advisers; he did not punish them.

  3. Q3. The merchant was 'taken aback' by the men's description, and the men had 'deduced' the camel's condition. Which option gives the correct meaning of both underlined words?

    • A. Taken aback – surprised; Deduced – concluded from evidence
    • B. Taken aback – pleased; Deduced – guessed by luck
    • C. Taken aback – angry; Deduced – forgotten quickly
    • D. Taken aback – relieved; Deduced – copied from another
    Solution

    'Taken aback' means surprised or shocked, and 'deduce' means to reach a conclusion from evidence.
