Multiple choice

What did the servant suggest to the king?

Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following question.

Once upon a time there was a king who lived in a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some remote areas of his country. When he returned to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he had gone for such a long trip, and the roads that he went through were very coarse and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money. Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?” The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion and made a shoe for himself. So, to make the world a better place to live, one should change oneself, not the world.

  1. He suggested that the king should cover his feet with leather.

  2. He suggested to repair the roads.

  3. He suggested to lay leather on the roads.

  4. He suggested him to buy something to protect his feet.
