Model Answer
(i) A – Dandi
Gandhiji broke the Salt Law at Dandi (Gujarat) on 6 April 1930, by manufacturing salt from seawater, marking the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
(ii) B – Nagpur
The Indian National Congress Session of 1920 was held at Nagpur, where the Non-Cooperation Movement was formally adopted.
Explanation
- Dandi is directly mentioned in the source passage (Section 3.1): Gandhiji marched from Sabarmati to Dandi and "ceremonially violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water" on 6 April 1930.
- Nagpur (1920 INC Session) is standard NCERT factual knowledge for this chapter — examiners expect both place names to be written correctly on the map lines, not just in text.
- In map-based questions, spelling must be exact and the name must appear on the correct line/arrow on the map. No explanation is needed beyond one identifying sentence per place.
