a. true

b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the statement

The statement asks whether the king tried to cover up what he had done instead of going to Sindhu's parents.

Reference the story context

This question refers to the traditional Indian folk tale of "Shravan Kumar" from the Ramayana. In the story, King Dasharatha accidentally shoots Shravan Kumar (Sindhu) with an arrow while hunting, mistaking him for an animal.

Evaluate the king's actions

Upon realizing his fatal mistake, King Dasharatha does not try to cover up his deed. Instead, filled with deep remorse, he immediately goes to Shravan's blind parents to confess what he did, bring them water, and seek their forgiveness.

Determine the truth value

Since the king did not cover up his actions and did go to Sindhu's parents, the statement is false.

Answer:

• A. true
• B. false (Correct answer)
