Directions  (1-10):  Read  the  following  passage  carefully  and  answer  the  questions  given  below  it.  Certain words/phrases are  given  in  bold to  help  you  locate  them  while answering  some  for  the  questions.

King  Hutamasan  felt  he  had  everything  in  the  world  not  only  due  to  his  riches  and  his  noble  knights,  but  because  of  his beautiful  queen,  Rani  Matsya.  The  rays  of  the  sun  were  put  to  shame  with  the  iridescent  light  that  Matsya  illuminated, with  her  beauty  and  brains.  At  the  right  hand  of  the  king  she  was  known  to  sit  and  aid  him  in  all  his  judicial  probes.  You could  not  escape  her  deep-set  eyes  when  you  committed  a  crime  as  she  always  knew  the  victim  and  the  culprit.  Her generosity  preceded  her  reputation  in  the  kingdom  and  her  hands  were  always  full  to  give.  People  in  the  kingdom revered  her because if  she  passed by,  she  always gave  to  the  compassionate  and  poor. Far  away  from  the  kingly  palace  lived  a  man  named  Raman,  with  only  ends  to  his  poverty  and  no  means  to  rectify  it. Raman  was  wrecked  with  poverty  as  he  had  lost  all  his  land  to  the  landlord.  His  age  enabled  him  little  towards  manual labour  and  so  begging  was  the  only  alternative  to  salvage  his  wife  and  children.  Every  morning  he  went  door  to  door  for some  work,  food  and  money.  The  kindness  of  people  always  got  him  enough  to  take  home.  But  Raman  was  a  little  selfcentered. His world began  with  him  first, followed by  his family  and the  rest.  So  he  would eat and drink  to  his delight and return  home  with  whatever  he  found  excess.  This  routine  followed  and  he  never  let  anyone  discover  his  interests  as  he always  put  on  a  long  face  when  he  reached home. One day  as  he  was  relishing  the  bowl  of  rice  he  had  just  received  from  a  humble  home,  he  heard  that  Rani  Matsya  was  to pass  from  the  very  place  he  was  standing.  Her  generosity  had  reached  his  ears  and  he  knew  if  he  pulled  a  long  face  and showed  how  poor  he  was,  she  would  hand  him  a  bag  full  of  gold  coins-enough  for  the  rest  of  his  life,  enough  to  buy  food and  supplies  for  his  family.  He  thought  he  could  keep  some  coins  for  himself  and  only  reveal  a  few  to  his  wife,  so  he  can fulfill  his own  wishes. He  ran  to  the  chariot  of  the  Rani  and  begged  her  soldiers  to  allow  him  to  speak  to  the  queen.  Listening  to  the  arguments outside Rani  Matsya  opened  the  curtains  of  her  chariot  and  asked Raman  what  he  wanted. Raman  went on  his  knees  and praised  the  queen,  “I  have  heard  you  are  most  generous  and  most  chaste,  show  this  beggar  some  charity.  Rani  narrowed her  brows  and  asked  Raman  what  he  could  give  her  in  return.  Surprised  by  such  a  question,  Raman  looked  at  his  bowl full  of  rice.  With  spite  in  him  he  just  picked  up  a  few  grains  of  rice  and  gave  it  to  her.  Rani  Matsya  counted  the  five  grains and looked at  his bowl full  of  rice and said, you  shall be  given  what  is due  to  you.  Saying  this, the  chariot  galloped  away. Raman  abused  her  under  his  breath.  This  he  never  thought  would  happen.  How  could  she  ask  him  for  something  in return  when  she  had  not  given  him  anything?  Irritated  with  anger  he  stormed  home  and  gave  his  wife  the  bowl  of  rice. Just  then  he  saw  a  sack  at  the  entrance.  His  wife  said  some  men  had  come  and  kept  it  there.  He  opened  it  to  find  it  full  of rice.  He  put  his  hand  inside  and  caught  hold  of  a  hard  metal  only  to  discover  it  was  a  gold  coin.  Elated  he  upturned  the sack  to  find  five  gold  coins  in  exact  for  the  five  rice  grains.  If  only  I  had  given  my  entire  bowl,  thought  Raman,  I  would have  had a  sack  full of  gold.
