Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (Questions 1-10) It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, the young king was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber.  He was only a lad of sixteen years of age. What had occupied his thought the most was the rove he was to wear in his coronation, the rob of tissued gold, and the ruby-studded crown, and the scepter with its rows and rings of pearls. Lost in his thoughts as he slept, he saw a dream. He saw himself standing amidst the whir and clatter of many looms. He has the vision of the gaunt figures of the weavers bending over their looms. Pale sickly-looking children were crouched on the huge crossbeams. Their faces were pinched with famine and their thin hands shook and trembled. The young king asked one of the weavers, “Who is thy master?” “He is a man like myself,” said the weaver. “Indeed, there is but this difference between us- that he wears fine clothes while I go in rags, and that while I am weak from hunger, he suffers much from overfeeding.” And a great terror seized upon him and he said to the weaver, “What robe is that thou art weaving?” “It is the robe for the coronation of the young King,” he answered.  And the young King gave a loud cry and woke. He slept again and saw another dream. He saw himself lying on the deck of a huge boat that was being rowed by a hundred slaves. Then one slave crept wearily down the ladder and disappeared into the sea. After some time he rose up out of the water and brought a pearl in his right hand. The other slaves seized it from him, and thrust him back. Again and again he came up, and each time he did so he brought with him a beautiful pearl. Then the diver came up for the last time, he brought with him the pearl of Ormuz, which was whiter than the morning star. And the master of the ship laughed, and said, “It shall be, for the sceptre of the young King.” When the young King heard this, he gave a loud cry, and woke up. The next day, he remembered his dreams, and he said to his lords: “Take these things away, for I will not wear them.” “For on the loom of Sorrow, and by the white hands of Pain, has this been my robe woven and there is Death in the heart of the pearl.” And he told him his dreams. During the coronation ceremony, there entered suddenly the nobles with drawn swords. “Where is the dreamer of the dreams?” they cried. “Where is this King who is appareled like a beggar- this boy who brings shame upon our state? Surely we will slay him for he is unworthy to rule over us.” It was the day of coronation. The young King bowed his head and prayed and when he had finished his prayer, the sunbeams wove around him a tissued robe that was fairer than the robe that had been fashioned for him. He stood there in the robes of a King. He came down from the high altar, and passed home through the midst of the people. But no man dared to look upon his face, for it was like the face of an angel. For each word given below choose the correct meaning (as used in the passage) from the options provided. 1. gaunt​
