Raghav Bansal answered |
Various people advocate various means of maintaining peace and liberty in a state. Some are in favour of dictatorship while others favour democracy. I think the best course lies in good governance. Whatever is well-administered is most fruitful for the citizens as well as the rulers. It ensures peace and liberty to the common man. A strong state, in itself, is safe against any external threat. Dedicated rulers, enlightened citizens and proper law enforcing agencies can establish peace and harmony in the state. Narrow considerations based on region, religion, caste etc. should be discouraged because these are potent threat to internal security as they fuel dissensions among the people. Free expression of opinions must be allowed but respect for law and order be observed. People should be conscious of their privileges and rights as well as duties and responsibilities. This is the only way to maintain peace and liberty.

Pooja Shah answered |
The king found himself in a difficult situation after hearing the architect’s argument. He said that it was an intricate matter and he needed someone’s advice. He ordered to bring to him the wisest man in the country. The wisest man was found and brought to the Royal Court. He said that the arch was the real culprit. It impudently hit the crown which fell off. So the arch must be hanged. Suddenly a councillor said that it would be a very shameful act to hang the arch that touched His Majesty’s head. It seemed true to the king. He was at a loss what to do. Meanwhile, he saw the crowd was getting restless and they wanted a hanging. So he declared that someone must be hanged. The noose was set up. It was somewhat high. Each man was measured turn by turn. But there was only one man who was tall enough to fit in the noose, and it was the king. His Majesty was, therefore, hanged by Royal Decree.

Rahul Kumar answered |
Mourad had been hiding the horse in a barn of a vineyard.
Explanation:
Mourad had been hiding the horse in a barn of a vineyard. Let's break down the options and analyze why option B is the correct answer.
a) In a stable:
A stable is a building where horses are kept, so it is a possible place to hide a horse. However, the question specifically mentions that Mourad had been hiding the horse, which implies that he was actively hiding it from someone. Hiding the horse in a stable would not be very secretive as stables are commonly known places for keeping horses.
b) In a barn of a vineyard:
A barn is a large building used for storing crops, equipment, or livestock. A vineyard is a place where grapes are grown for making wine. Hiding the horse in a barn of a vineyard would be a more discreet and less obvious choice. It is a location that may not be immediately associated with keeping horses, making it a suitable hiding place.
c) At a secret place of his house:
While hiding the horse in a secret place of Mourad's house could be a possibility, the question does not provide any information to suggest this. It is important to base the answer on the given information rather than making assumptions.
d) None of the above:
Since option B is the correct answer, option D (None of the above) is incorrect.
In conclusion, Mourad had been hiding the horse in a barn of a vineyard. This location provides a level of secrecy and less immediate association with keeping horses, making it a suitable hiding place for the horse.

She found herself in the midst of things she wanted to see again. She felt oppressed in the strange atmosphere. Everything was arranged in a tasteless way. The ugly furniture and the muggy smell that hung there seemed quite unpleasant. These objects evoked the memory of the familiar life of former time.

The people are not at all ashamed to have a melon as their king. They say that if the king rejoices in being a melon, that’s all right with them. They find no fault with him as long as he leaves them to enjoy their peace, freedom and free trade. The capital city is called Melon City after the king. Thus the ending throws light on the selfish nature of the people and their belief in old customs. It also explains the title.

The boys returned the horse to Byro not because they were afraid but because their conscience pricked them. John Byro recognized his horse but refused to believe that Mourad and Aram had stolen it. According to him, the fame of their honesty was widely known.

Geetika Shah answered |
The chief of builders was the first one to be held guilty. He shifted the blame on the workmen. The workmen were surprised but did not lose their reasoning power. They told the king he had forgotten the fact that the bricks were made of the wrong size. Swayed by their rational argument, the masons were summoned. They trembled with fear, but shifted the blame on the architect who was responsible for planning and erecting the arch. The king ordered the architect to be hanged. The clever architect reminded the king that he had forgotten one small thing. He had made certain amendments to plans when the former had shown them to the latter. This clearly meant that he held the king responsible for the mishap. The king became very angry and lost” his capacity of clear judgement. He called it a tricky thing and sought the advice of the wisest man in the country. Thus each accused succeeded in shifting the blame on others.
