Practice questions
01 Why would it be wrong to call Moderate Congress petition politics completely weak?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It laid foundations of political language, organisation and economic criticism
Explanation: The direct answer is A: it laid foundations of political language, organisation and economic criticism. Moderate leaders used petitions, speeches, meetings and constitutional demands rather than immediate violence. Their method had limitations because British rulers often ignored their requests, and their mass base was limited. However, it would be incorrect to call the method completely weak, because it trained Indians in public debate, created political associations, developed an all-India platform through the Congress, and exposed economic exploitation such as the drain of wealth. Option A is correct because these long-term foundations helped later nationalist movements. Option B is wrong: Moderates did not immediately launch armed revolution; that belonged to different later or parallel revolutionary trends. Option C is wrong: they did not make India a republic. Option D is wrong: they could not close the British Parliament. The safe exam approach is to mention both contribution and limitation. Memory cue: moderate means constitutional method, not no contribution.
12 Why was choosing Salt Satyagraha after Poorna Swaraj resolution strategically effective?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It linked complete independence with a daily issue of common people
Explanation: The direct answer is Option A: it linked the goal of complete independence with a daily issue of common people. The Poorna Swaraj resolution gave the national movement a clear political aim—complete independence. The Salt Satyagraha then selected salt, an item used by every household, rich or poor. The British salt laws and tax affected ordinary people, and the government monopoly made salt a powerful symbol of unfair rule. The reasoning is: complete independence was a large and difficult political idea; salt was familiar to every person; connecting the two made the freedom struggle understandable and participatory for ordinary people; therefore the movement could mobilize a much wider population. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the Salt Satyagraha challenged British authority rather than supporting the British army. Option C is wrong because it did not expand East India Company trade; the Company had ceased to be the governing power after 1858. Option D is wrong because the movement was not intended to divide princely states. Gandhi’s choice of salt showed strategic understanding: a simple everyday object could represent an unjust law and unite people. Exam cue: when a national goal is connected to an ordinary person’s daily problem, mass participation becomes easier.

19 What did the joint defence of Sehgal, Dhillon and Shah Nawaz in INA trials symbolise?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Spirit of national unity above religion and community
Explanation: The direct answer is A: the joint defence symbolised national unity above religion and community. Sehgal, Dhillon and Shah Nawaz belonged to different religious communities, yet they were defended together during the INA trials. The Indian National Army had fought under Subhas Chandra Bose, and the trials at the Red Fort produced broad public sympathy. Step by step, the names represented different communities; the common legal defence brought them together; public support showed that anti-colonial nationalism could cross religious divisions. Option A is correct because the event became a powerful symbol of united Indian feeling. Option B is wrong: the trials did not restore Company rule; the East India Company had already lost political power long before. Option C is wrong: the event did not support the 1905 partition of Bengal. Option D is wrong: it had no connection with restoring sati. Remember the three names and connect them with INA, Red Fort trials and national unity.
