Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow each passage. Your answers to these questions should be based on the passage only.
The Shah of Persia had heard of Birbal's intelligence and he wrote to Emperor Akbar requesting that Birbal be allowed to visit his Court. Akbar was pleased because he was extremely proud of Birbal, and sent him to the Persian court in all splendor.
As soon as Birbal reached the Persian capital, the Shah sent for him. When he reached the royal audience chamber, he saw a semi-circular arrangement of seats. In each of them was a well-dressed regal figure and all of them were dressed exactly alike. Anyone of them could have been the Shah of Persia. Birbal stopped for a while, then looked keenly, went and bowed to the real Shah.
Taken aback by this, the Shah of Persia listened to Birbal's flowery address and replied in the same flowery language. Then he asked, "Your Majesty! When I looked round, I found everyone looking at you. Only you did not look at anyone. I knew at once who the real Shah of Persia was." The Shah bestowed upon Birbal the title Ocean of Intelligence by which men knew him ever after.
