Section F: Comprehension MCQ (5 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
According to an ancient legend, the first man was made by Jupiter,
the first bull by Neptune, and the first house by Minerva. On the completion
of their labours, a dispute arose as to who among them had produced the
perfect handicraft. They agreed to appoint Momus as judge, and to abide by
his decision. However, Momus was very envious of the perfect handicraft
that each of them had created and he decided to find fault with all.
He first criticised the work of Neptune because he had not put the
horns of the bull below his eyes, so he might better see where to strike.
He then condemned the work of Jupiter, because he had not placed
the heart of man on the outside, so that everyone might read man’s evil
thoughts and take precautions against the intended mischief.
And, lastly, he inveighed against Minerva because she had not
contrived iron wheels in the foundation of her house, so its inhabitants might
move easily if a neighbour proved unpleasant.
Jupiter was furious with Momus for being so irresponsible and
removed him as the judge. Momus was therefore expelled from the mansions
of Olympus.
