The sentence says that he got a promise from someone. Hence, in this context, ‘subjects’ is the best fit as it means that he made his people promise him that they will adhere to his laws till he returns. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

8) Answer (a)
The sentence talks about his return from some journey. The context of the passage suggests that the promise was made before he set forth for the journey. Hence, impending is the best choice. Thus, option A is correct.

9) Answer (d)
From the passage, it is clear that his subjects had promised him that his laws would be immutable till he returns. Hence, if never returns than his laws will remain immutable. Thus, option D is correct.

10) Answer (b)
From the reading of the passage, it is clear that the title appropriately fits the context. Hence, ‘apt’ is the right choice for the given blank. Hence, option B is correct.
