Directions Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
The Kittur Fort One can see today only the dilapidated walls and ruins of the great fort which was once known for its strength. The most important landmark as one goes towards the fort is the ‘Bah adurgad’. Situated to the South-West of the fort and outside of it, on a natural hillock, the highest in the plain, the “Bahadurgad’, which was the watchtower, provides a most, panoramic and commanding view of the sparsely wooded surroundings region of green grassland, fading, as if gradually into soft contoured hills in the West and the horizons on the other sides. To the North of the tower is ‘Ranagattikere’ where Rani Chennamma fought her last stubborn fight against the British, with almost savage determination.
The actual fort, circular in plan, consisted of double walls, separated by moats on the outer sides, with semicircular bastions on the exterior of the outer wall. It had originally the main gateway on the East, approached by the causeway across the outer moat known as ane honda which was used for bathing the elephants.
The entrances through the walls are deliberate ly not aligned, evidently in the interests of security. After passing by the winding path through the walls, one is led to the front side of the imposing main entrance of the palace located near the Northern arc of the inner fort wall.
To the South of the palace, inside the fort, are the ruins of horse-stables and foundations of residential buildings, probably meant for the important officials of the palace. To the South-West is the heavily built watchtower relieved by a series of parallel buttresses at regular intervals.
Q84. Which one of the following statements is true?
(1) It was used as a watchtower
(2) From it, one can enjoy a view of the hills in the East
(3) Rani Chennamma rules Kittur from here
(4) Bahadurgad is situated inside the Kittur Fort
