Read the following Paragraph and answer the questions given below:
Not only was he funny-looking, but he had funny ways and notions, and a good - natured, magnetic stubbornness in sticking to them. One of his friends had asked the oracle at Delphi who was the wisest man in Athens. To the astonishment of all, the priestess had mentioned this idler, Socrates. “The oracle,” he said, “chose me as the wisest Athenian because I am the only one who knows that he doesn’t know anything.” The attitude of sly and slightly mischievous humbleness gave him a terrific advantage in an argument. Pretending that he himself didn’t know the answers, he would badger people with questions, and lead them to make astounding admissions. Socrates was the evangelist of clear thinking. He went about the streets of Athens preaching logic - just as 400 years later Jesus would go about the villages of Palestine preaching love. And like Jesus without ever writing down a word, he exercised an influence over the minds of men that a library of books could not surpass.
