Louis the Fourteenth passing off on his people as being above humanity is extraordinary because __________.
a. he hid from his subjects
b. he made a show of his daily routine
c. he impressed his people greatly even if he exposed himself to the public
d. he could not maintain his dignity
Answer options :

The correct answer is Option B (Only b and c).

Key Points:
• This question evaluates the candidate's ability to synthesize details and understand the author's paradox within a Reading Comprehension passage, a common MPSC challenge.
• Option 2 is the correct answer according to the official MPSC answer key. The author considers Louis's god-like status extraordinary specifically because he was constantly in the public eye. He performed daily tasks publicly ('assembled to see him shave', 'whole assembly awaited' - supporting statement b) and yet 'impressed those who surrounded him with the deepest awe' (supporting statement c).
• Let us analyze why the other statements are incorrect. Statement 'a' is false; the passage states 'he did not seclude himself from public gaze'. Statement 'd' is also contradicted, as the text says he managed to 'preserve much personal dignity' to the last.
• A common MPSC trap is expecting students to miss the contrasting structure ('Yet, though...') which holds the core argument of the paragraph.
• Identifying contrast markers like 'Yet', 'Though', or 'However' is key to unlocking the main point.
• Key Takeaway: Remember: Pay close attention to contrasting conjunctions (Yet, though) as they often highlight the passage's central paradox or argument.
