Model Answer
(i) The place marked A is Amritsar (Punjab) — the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (13 April 1919).
(ii) On the outline map of India, locate and label:
- Singrauli Thermal Power Plant — mark it in Madhya Pradesh / Uttar Pradesh border region (Singrauli district, MP).
- Kolkata (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose) International Airport — mark it at Kolkata, West Bengal with the symbol for an airport (✈ or ⊙).
(Note: If the question asks for Mumbai Software Technology Park instead of Singrauli, mark it at Mumbai, Maharashtra.)

Explanation
- Map questions are purely identification and labelling — no explanation needed in the answer.
- Write the correct name neatly near the marked symbol.
- For airports, use the standard dot/star symbol and write the full name.
- Jallianwala Bagh (1919, Amritsar) is a standard History map item (Chapter — Nationalism in India).
- Singrauli is a major thermal power station (Geography — Energy Resources); Kolkata airport is a standard transport map item (Geography — Lifelines of National Economy, Ch. 7).
- Examiners award marks for correct location + correct label; one error = one mark lost.
