CEnglish | Women's education
DEnglish | Abolition of untouchability
Correct Answer: Marathi | Women's educationYour Answer: A

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Bal Gangadhar Tilak published 'Kesari' in Marathi and 'The Mahratta' in English. Kesari (meaning 'Lion') was published from Poona. Tilak used these newspapers extensively to spread nationalist ideas and criticize British policies. He was convicted of sedition twice partly based on his writings in Kesari. Chronology resolves the item: Marathi occupies the position required by “Bal Gangadhar Tilak's newspaper 'Kesari' was published in which language?”, while a merely famous contemporary name would not satisfy every part of the stem. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass mobilisation, boycott, For statement two, the supported answer is Women's education. Savitribai Phule is known as the pioneer of women's education in India. Along with her husband Jyotirao Phule, she opened the first school for girls in Pune in 1848. She was also the first female teacher in India. The couple also worked against caste discrimination and for widow remarriage. Reading the stem closely separates Women's education from other names in the period: the question tests one defined act, location or institutional decision, Therefore the correct ordered pair is Marathi followed by Women's education. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.

Important Notes

  • The first verified component is Marathi.
  • The second verified component is Women's education.
  • The ordered answer is Marathi followed by Women's education.
  • Any pair omitting Marathi or Women's education is incomplete.
  • Revise Marathi and Women's education from both cited references.
