- groundedness 0.95 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states that during the Han dynasty (B.C. 266 to 220), 'it was customary for the officers of the court to hold the spice in their mouth before addressing the sovereign.' The claim accurately captures all key elements from the source material with only minor rewording of the predicate structure.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage text, not a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifiers correctly reflect the Han dynasty period (B.C. 266 to 220, normalized to -0266 to -0220). The context appropriately specifies 'Han dynasty'. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about court officers holding clove in their mouth before addressing the sovereign.
