Read the passage given below carefully and answer Q. Nos. 21 to 25

based on it.
Concerning Louis the Fourteenth himself, the world seems at last to
have formed a correct judgment. He was not a great general; he was
not a great statesman; but he was, in one sense of the word, a great
king. Never was there so consummate a master of what ourbJames
the First would have called king-craft- of all those arts which most
advantageously display the merits of a prince and most completely
hide his defects. Though his internal administration was bad though
the military triumphs which gave splendour to the early parts of his
reign were not achieved by himself— though his later years were
crowded with defeats and humiliations though he was so ignorant
that he scarcely understood the Latin of his mass book-though he fell
under the control of a cunning Jesuit and of a more cunning woman
he succeeded in passing off on his people as being above humanity.
And this is the more extraordinary because he did not seclude himself
from public gaze like those oriental despots, whose faces were never
seen, and whose very name it is a crime to
pronounce lightly. It has been said that no man is a hero to his valet
and all the world saw as much of Louis the Fourteenth, as his valet
would see. Five hundred people assembled to see him shave and put
on his breeches in the morning. He then kneeled down at the side of
his bed, and said his prayers while the whole assembly awaited the
end in solemn silence. He walked about his gardens with a train of
two hundred courtiers at his heels. All Versailles came to see him dine
and sup. He was put to bed at night in the midst of a crowd as great as
that which had met to see him rise in the morning. Yet, though he
constantly exposed himself to the public gaze in situations in which it
is scarcely possible for any man to preserve much personal dignity, he
to the last impressed those who surrounded him with the deepest
awe and reverence.
