A Only 2
B Neither 1 nor 2
C Only 1
D Both 1 and 2

Correct answer: (b) Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

  1. A

    Only 2

    Option (a) states that only statement 2 is correct, claiming that the memorial will be developed by South Korea. However, this statement is inaccurate as neither of the provided statements regarding the inauguration date and the development agency is correct according to the official facts of the project.

  2. B

    Neither 1 nor 2

    Option (b) states that neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct, which is the right answer because the inauguration and development details mentioned in the statements do not match the actual official records of the Kohima Peace Memorial and Eco-Park project. Statement 1 incorrectly cites the date and context of the program, while statement 2 misidentifies the primary entity responsible for its development, thereby rendering both assertions factually incorrect upon closer examination.

  3. C

    Only 1

    Option (c) claims that only statement 1 is correct, asserting that the inauguration programme was held on 8th March, 2024 at Kohima. This claim fails because the specific date and event details provided in the first statement do not align with the actual official timeline and facts of the memorial.

  4. D

    Both 1 and 2

    Option (d) asserts that both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct. This option is incorrect because both individual statements contain inaccurate information regarding the project's inauguration and its development stakeholders.

Summary. Official key is (b) Neither 1 nor 2. The question tests knowledge about the Kohima Peace Memorial and Eco-Park inaugurated in Nagaland. Statement 1 mentions an incorrect date and context for the program. Statement 2 inaccurately states the development agency involved in the project. Therefore, both given statements are incorrect. Candidates must carefully verify current affairs and project details to avoid falling for plausible-sounding misinformation.
