With reference to the G-7 Summit held in June 2021, which of the following statements is/are correct?1.United Kingdom was the Chair of the Summit.2.Brazil was invited to the Summit as a guest country.Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

1. A

   Only 1

   Statement 1 is correct: the United Kingdom chaired the 47th G-7 Summit held at Carbis Bay, Cornwall, in June 2021. Statement 2 is false: Brazil was not a guest; the outreach guests were Australia, India, the Republic of Korea and South Africa. Hence only 1 is the official key.

2. B

   Only 2

   Only 2 would require Brazil to have been invited as a guest. That did not happen at Cornwall 2021, so this choice fails.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both 1 and 2 mixes a true chairmanship fact with a false guest list. Brazil is a G-20 member, not a 2021 G-7 outreach guest, so ‘both’ is wrong.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither 1 nor 2 would deny the UK chair, which is a matter of public record for the Cornwall summit.

Summary. Official key is (a) only 1. The 2021 G-7 was a UK-hosted Cornwall meeting under Boris Johnson’s presidency of the group. Outreach partners were Australia, India, South Korea and South Africa, not Brazil. Confusing G-7 guests with G-20 membership is the usual trap. Honour the stored letter (a).
