Question

What is the shape of The Lāl Quilā?

• A. Hexagonal
• B. Octagonal
• C. Pentagonal
• D. Heptagonal

Hint:

Look for the words 'in shape' in the passage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question:
The question asks for the shape of the Lal Quila (Red Fort). The passage describes it in the second sentence.

Step 2: Find the fact:
The passage says the Lal Quila, built of red sandstone, is octagonal in shape, with two longer sides on the east and west.

Step 3: Check Option 1:
Option 1 says Hexagonal. A hexagon has six sides, but the fort is described with eight. This option is wrong.

Step 4: Check Option 2:
Option 2 says Octagonal. An octagon has eight sides, and the passage says exactly this. This option is correct.

Step 5: Check Option 3:
Option 3 says Pentagonal. A pentagon has five sides, which does not match. This option is wrong.

Step 6: Check Option 4:
Option 4 says Heptagonal. A heptagon has seven sides, which is close but still wrong. This option is wrong.

Final Answer:
The fort is octagonal in shape, so Option 2 is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{Octagonal (Option 2)}} \]
