Which of the following word sequences is correct as per the Preamble to the Constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic.
Preamble to the Indian Constitution: The Preamble describes India as a "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic". This is the exact sequence used in the Preamble.
Option Analysis:
Option 1: "Sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic"
This matches the Preamble exactly.
Option 2: "Socialist, secular, democratic, republic, sovereign"
This rearranges the order, placing "sovereign" at the end, which is incorrect.
Option 3: "Secular, democratic, secular, socialist, sovereign"
This contains repetition and incorrect order.
Option 4: "Sovereign, secular, socialist, democratic, republic"
This swaps "socialist" and "secular," which does not match the Preamble.
Thus, the sequence in Option 1 is correct as per the Preamble to the Constitution.
