The direct answer is B: living in a state by taking a house. Freedom to reside means that, subject to lawful and reasonable restrictions, an Indian citizen may live or settle in a place in India. The reasoning is simple: reside means live in a place; taking a house and living in a State is residence; therefore B matches the right. A is wrong because human trafficking is a serious crime, not a freedom. C is wrong because untouchability is prohibited and is not a liberty. D is wrong because using official titles concerns equality and titles, not residence. This freedom does not permit illegal conduct or ignore valid public regulations. Memory cue: reside means stay or settle.

Direct answer: Option D is correct. The Right to Freedom includes important freedoms such as speech and expression, peaceful assembly, forming associations, movement, residence, and choosing a profession or occupation, along with protections of personal liberty. Abolition of untouchability belongs to the Right to Equality, especially the constitutional protection against untouchability, not to the list of freedoms. Follow the classification: speaking is expression; gathering without violence is peaceful assembly; selecting lawful work is freedom of profession; removing untouchability is equality before the law and equal social status. Option A is wrong because expression is a recognised freedom, subject to reasonable legal restrictions. Option B is wrong because peaceful assembly is included. Option C is wrong because choosing a profession is included, although lawful regulation may apply. Option D is correct because it belongs to equality. Memory cue: keep the Fundamental Rights groups separate—untouchability points to Equality, while speech, assembly and profession point to Freedom.

Life and liberty are protected through procedure established by law. Exam tip: remember procedure established by law.

The direct answer is B: telling an arrested person the reason for arrest. Personal liberty means that a person cannot be deprived of freedom arbitrarily. Legal safeguards require authorities to explain the grounds of arrest, and the arrested person has important protections such as access to legal help and production before a magistrate within the required period. Step by step: arrest limits freedom; unexplained arrest can be arbitrary; giving the reason makes the action accountable and allows the person to defend themselves. Option A is wrong because long detention without reason threatens liberty. Option B is correct because it is a clear safeguard. Option C is wrong because keeping a person away from court removes legal review. Option D is wrong because denying lawyer consultation weakens defence. Memory cue: arrest must have a reason and legal safeguards.

Consulting a lawyer is an important legal safeguard during arrest. Exam tip: remember lawyer consultation.

Children from six to fourteen years are covered by the constitutional Right to Education under Article 21A, which requires the state to provide free and compulsory education in the manner laid down by law. Education supports children’s development, knowledge, confidence, and ability to participate in society. Therefore, option D, Right to Education, is correct. The other options are not recognized rights matching this situation; in particular, “right to untouchability” would contradict the constitutional prohibition of untouchability.

The age range is the key clue. When a question asks why children between six and fourteen should receive schooling, recall the Right to Education rather than property or any invented title. This right places an important responsibility on the state and makes elementary education a legal entitlement for the specified age group. Hence option D follows directly from the constitutional provision.
