AMancherjee Bhownagree | Bengal Lancers
BDadabhai Naoroji | Indian National Army (INA)
CDadabhai Naoroji | Bengal Lancers
DMancherjee Bhownagree | Indian National Army (INA)
Correct Answer: Dadabhai Naoroji | Indian National Army (INA)Your Answer: B

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Dadabhai Naoroji was the first Indian to be elected to the British House of Commons in 1892 representing the Finsbury Central constituency for the Liberal Party. The wording of “Who was the first Indian to be elected to the British House of Commons?” makes Dadabhai Naoroji decisive because the stem combines a particular date, place and political consequence rather than asking for a loose association. This development forms part of the changing For statement two, the supported answer is Indian National Army (INA). 'Delhi Chalo' (March to Delhi) was the rallying call of the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) led by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The phrase expressed the INA's goal of marching to Delhi and liberating India from British rule. INA soldiers would greet each other with 'Jai Hind' and march with 'Delhi Chalo' as their battle cry. The wording of “The famous phrase 'Delhi Chalo' (March to Delhi) was associated with which Indian military force?” makes Indian National Army (INA) decisive because the stem combines a particular date, place and political consequence rather than asking Therefore the correct ordered pair is Dadabhai Naoroji followed by Indian National Army (INA). 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 Dadabhai Naoroji.
  • The second verified component is Indian National Army (INA).
  • The ordered answer is Dadabhai Naoroji followed by Indian National Army (INA).
  • Any pair omitting Dadabhai Naoroji or Indian National Army (INA) is incomplete.
  • Revise Dadabhai Naoroji and Indian National Army (INA) from both cited references.
