Answer 1

Hint: In this question, the third sentence talks about the celebration of a particular day.
For this question, you need to apply logical reasoning.
Logical reasoning refers to using systematic steps to reach a conclusion.

Complete answer:

In the given question, we have to choose the right sentence to fit in the blank B. The third sentence, which is sentence C, refers to the celebration of a particular day, therefore, sentence B should have a date mentioned.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'He was a paramount leader', does not include any date. Since the correct sentence needs to have a date as sentence C refers to the celebration of a particular day, therefore, option (a.) is incorrect.

Option (b.), ‘He was born on 14 November 1889', includes a particular date. Since the correct sentence needs to have a date as sentence C refers to the celebration of a particular day, So, the correct answer is “Option b”.

Option (c.), ‘He died in 1964', does not include any date. Since the correct sentence needs to have a date as sentence C refers to the celebration of a particular day, therefore, option (a.) is incorrect.

Option (d.), ‘He was the central figure of Indian politics', does not include any date. Since the correct sentence needs to have a date as sentence C refers to the celebration of a particular day, therefore, option (a.) is incorrect.

Note: In this question, do not confuse option (c.) ‘He died in 1964' as the right answer, as although it mentions a year, it does not mention a date.
By using logical reasoning, you shall realize that only the option with a particular date can be correct since the previous sentences refer to a particular date rather than just a year or day. Using systematic steps to answer such questions can help the students immensely.
