Question

How was the gold stolen and by whom?

• A. The miser's workman discovered the secret and stole the gold in the night.
• B. A thief came there and stole the lump of gold in the night.
• C. The neighbour stole it.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The miser's workman discovered the secret and stole the gold in the night.

Option A is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - '

'One of the miser's workmen wondered why his master spent so much time in the garden.

One day, he hid behind a tree and soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure.

That night, when the miser was fast asleep, the workman crept into the garden and stole the lump of gold.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options B and C are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because the right answer is Option A.
