Question 1

Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Once upon a time, there was a farmer called Ruggan. Ruggan was not rich but was very happy. He worked in the fields with his two goats from dawn until dusk. This provided Ruggan with vegetables to eat and supplementary income through some crops which he would sell to the local villagers on market day so that he might buy food.
Ruggan and his goats worked very hard, but they were contented with their simple life and they did not complain as they had everything they needed.
But one particular year, everything changed. The rains did not occur and the farmland began to dry up and turn to dust. Because there was no rain, the crops did not grow and Ruggan had nothing to sell, and therefore he did not have money to buy food.
To satisfy their hunger, the farmer was forced to sell everything he had in his little house in exchange for food so that he could feed himself and his beloved goats. Meanwhile, Ruggan hoped for the rains to come so that he might return to the fields and resume work.
Several months passed and there was still no rain. The crops did not grow and Ruggan and his goats grew more and more hungry. There was nothing left to sell and so there was no food to eat.
Eventually, Ruggan could no longer bear the starvation. He turned to his goats and said, “I am very sorry but I am afraid that I might have to eat you.”
The goats looked at Ruggan and tears started to roll down their wide eyes. When Ruggan saw the tears, he became very upset and felt guilty about even thinking to eat his faithful goats. He threw his arms around the goats and said, “I am so sorry, I will never suggest such a thing again. Will you please forgive me?”
The goat nodded and was very relieved not to be eaten.
Suddenly it began to rain and the lands turned from dust to rich soil. The crops began to grow and it was not long before Ruggan and his faithful goats were back in the fields once more.
When harvest time came around, Ruggan and his goats were very busy and worked from dawn till dusk in the fields. They had crops more than ever and were elated again. They gathered the crops and went to the village, where they sold their produce to the people gathered in the market. This gave Ruggan the money to buy food and they were no longer hungry.
From that day on, Ruggan promised that he would never eat goat meat because his goats were sacred and provided him with milk and helped him work in the fields to provide crops to be eaten and sold for money.
Which of the following options best describes the farmer?
