Amit Sharma answered
The noun manuscript evolved from the Latin manu scriptus, meaning “written by hand.” Manu is “hand” and scriptus is “to write." It refers to old documents actually written by hand before books were made, but it can also refer to a writer's unpublished work whether it's handwritten or typed.
Manuscripts were usually written on palm leaf, or on the specially prepared bark of a tree known as the birch, which grows in the Himalayas, while inscriptions were engraved either on a stone surface or on bricks or metals.

Debanshi Menon answered
The correct answer is:
4. 2 only
Let's analyze each statement:
1. Many craft persons and merchants formed associations known as shrenis which provided training and procurement of raw material.
   - This statement is correct. Shrenis were associations formed by artisans, craftsmen, and merchants in ancient India. These associations provided training, organized production, and facilitated procurement of raw materials.
2. The Northern black polished ware was a hard wheel, metallic looking ware with a shiny black surface. It was applied on pots to give them a mirror-like shine.
   - This statement is incorrect. The Northern Black Polished Ware (NBPW) was a type of pottery produced in ancient India during the Iron Age (c. 700-200 BCE). It is characterized by its black color and polished surface achieved through a unique firing process, not by any application. It was not metallic looking, nor was it applied to pots to give them a shine.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: 2 only

After the Non-Cooperation Movement, British government itself provided an opportunity to the Indians for the revival of political agitation in the country. The British government announced the appointment of a statutory commission on November 8, 1927 and the constitution of the commission revived the political agitation in India.

The commission consisted of seven members of the British Parliament with John Simon as its Chairman. The most objectionable feature of the commission from the Indian point of view was its all British composition. Not a single Indian was considered fit to be included in the commission. The commission was to look into the functioning of the reforms introduced in India by the Act of 1919 and to enquire into the working of the growth of education in India.
