Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Background of “Ka Jingiaid u Pilgrim.”
“Ka Jingiaid u Pilgrim” is the Khasi translation of John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” a Christian allegory about the journey of a believer toward salvation.
The story includes many symbolic characters who embody various virtues and weaknesses of human nature.
Step 2: Understanding the characters.
- Pliuhin: Symbolizes the steadfast Christian or pilgrim.
- Mane Ruma: Represents the strength of faith and resilience against temptation.
- Lormi: Embodies patience and loyalty on the spiritual path.
Step 3: The symbolic significance.
Together, these three characters — Pliuhin, Mane Ruma, and Lormi — portray key moral qualities essential to spiritual victory.
They act as witnesses (languit ki sakhi) to the struggles, trials, and triumphs of the pilgrim’s journey.
Step 4: Elimination of incorrect options.
- (2) Ieit Sbai, Thap Nyatoi, Lum Baroh — unrelated symbolic names.
- (3) Ieit Sbai, Pliuhin, Lormi — partly correct but incomplete.
- (4) Ieit Sbai, Mane Ruma, Pliuhin — not the proper combination as given in the text.
Step 5: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct names of the witnesses in “Ka Jingiaid u Pilgrim” are Pliuhin, Mane Ruma, and Lormi.
