    A If that ruler is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B truly virtual, wise and far-seeing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C then that nation is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D truly a happy land Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘virtual’ is incorrect here. It means ‘almost, but not exactly or in every way’. The correct word is ‘virtuous’, which means ‘having good moral qualities and behaviour’. If that ruler is truly virtuous , wise and far-seeing, then that nation is truly a happy land.
