Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
The wise old Wazir was famous for his judgement and people came to him for justice from all parts of the country. One day two men came to his court and claimed ownership of an extraordinarily good-looking horse. It was a black beauty indeed. One of the men was tall, very well-dressed and soft-spoken. The Wazir heard them patiently and asked them to leave the horse and come to him next morning. Both the men came the next morning. The Wazir asked his soldiers to give the horse to the tall man and to arrest the other man. The tall man wanted to know how the Wazir had learnt the truth. "Very simple", said he, "Firstly, a man of your appearance and manners could not have been the thief. Still, I wanted to be sure, just after you had left the court. I asked one my soldiers to leave the horse free and to see whom it followed. It went after you. This hint was enough for me."
Which of the following is/are correct as per the given statement:
People came to which from all places because he was ___________ .
A. very famous
B. an old judge
C. an old Wazir
D. a very patient listener
E. a wise judge
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Option C is the correct answer.
In the given context of the passage, it is mentioned that people came from all places to seek the Wazir’s judgement. The Wazir was known for his wisdom and fair judgement, which is why he was sought after by people from various regions. This implies that he was a ‘wise judge’ (Statement E). The other characteristics such as being ‘very famous’ (Statement A), an ‘old judge’ (Statement B), an ‘old Wazir’ (Statement C), or a ‘very patient listener’ (Statement D) are not explicitly stated in the context. Therefore, these statements do not form the basis for people seeking his judgment. Hence, the correct answer is ‘E only’ (Option C). This is because people were drawn to him due to his reputation as a wise judge and not necessarily because of the other characteristics mentioned in the statements.
