1. A

   Only 2

   Option (a) claims that only statement 2 is correct, treating the term Global South as associated with developed countries. This is incorrect because the Global South primarily refers to developing, emerging, or low-income countries, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

2. B

   Neither I nor 2

   Option (b) asserts that neither statement is correct. This is incorrect because statement 1 is factually accurate regarding India hosting the summit.

3. C

   Only 1

   Option (c) states that only statement 1 is correct, which accurately reflects that India hosted the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit virtually in November 2023 to amplify the concerns of developing nations on global platforms. Statement 2 is factually incorrect because the term Global South denotes developing and less developed nations rather than developed ones. Therefore, only the first statement holds true, making this option the correct choice.

4. D

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (d) claims that both statements 1 and 2 are correct. This is incorrect because statement 2 falsely links the Global South to developed countries when it actually represents developing economies.

Summary. Official key is (c) because the first statement about India hosting the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit is correct, while the second statement is false. The term Global South refers to developing and emerging nations, not developed countries. India has actively used this platform to voice the concerns of the Global South. Thus, only statement 1 is right.
