Q1) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (1x05=05)
A learned Pundit once visited the court of Akbar. He told the King and his courtiers that
he had mastery over many different languages. The Pundit could speak many languages
fluently. He was so fluent that no one could find out what his mother tongue was. He
challenged everybody at the court to name his mother tongue. When everyone failed, the
challenge was taken up by Birbal. That night, Birbal went quietly to the Pundit’s room when
he was asleep. He whispered into the Pundit’s ear and tickled it with a feather. The Pundit,
half awake, cried out suddenly and shouted out words in his mother tongue. Birbal came to
the court the next day and told everyone that the Pundit’s mother tongue was Telugu. The
Pundit was surprised and accepted the truth.
