Question

For what purpose was the “hall of justice” used by Shah Mal?

• A. Used as an uprising headquarters
• B. Used for storing arms and ammunitions
• C. Used for conducting official meetings
• D. Used for settling disputes and dispensing judgments

Hint:

The name itself tells you the use: justice means settling disputes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the question:
The question asks what Shah Mal did with the hall of justice. The answer is stated directly in the passage

Step 2: Find the line in the passage:
Shah Mal took over the bungalow of an English officer and turned it into a hall of justice. The passage then states its use in simple words: it was for settling disputes and giving judgments

Step 3: Check option 1:
The passage does not call it a headquarters for the uprising. So option 1 is wrong

Step 4: Check option 2:
There is no mention of storing arms there. Option 2 is wrong

Step 5: Check option 3:
Official meetings suggest British administration. Shah Mal ran his own court, so option 3 is wrong

Step 6: Check option 4:
This matches the purpose stated in the passage. Option 4 is correct

Final Answer:
The hall of justice was used for settling disputes and dispensing judgments. The correct option is 4.
