Read the following passage and complete given activities
A1. Arrange these incidents in proper sequence as they appear in the passage:-
(a) The king asked the hermit the three questions.
(b) The king saw that the hermit was digging the ground.
(c) The king went alone to see the hermit.
(d) The hermit greeted the king.
Equally varied were the answers to the second question. Some said, the people, the king most
needed, were his councillors; others the priests; others the doctors while some said the warriors
were the most necessary. To the third question about what was the most important occupation,
some replied that the most important thing in the world was science. Others said it was skill in warfare ; and others, again, that it was religious worship . The king was convinced by none of
these answers and gave the reward to none. He decided, instead to go to a hermit who was
widely renowned for his wisdom. The hermit lived in a small hut in a forest which he never left. He spoke only to common folk. So the king put on simple clothes and approaching the hermit's cell, dismounted his horse and left his bodyguard behind. When the king arrived, the hermit was
digging the ground in front of his hut. He greeted the king but went on digging . The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he struck the ground with the spade and turned over a little earth, he breathed heavily. The king went up to him and said , "I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions --- How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need , and to whom should I, therefore , pay most attention? And what affairs
are the most important and need my first attention?
