Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is H.
H.
Cole.
According to the source, H.
H.
Cole was appointed as the Curator of Ancient Monuments in 1880.
The explanation in the book is limited to this direct statement and provides no further biographical or administrative details.
Therefore the source-supported examination chain is simply: H.
H.
Cole — Curator of Ancient Monuments — appointed in 1880.
John Marshall, Alexander Cunningham and James Fergusson are the distractors in the original question.
Because all four names are associated broadly with architecture, archaeology or heritage-related contexts, this type of question can be confusing if students rely only on name recognition.
The most effective revision is to attach the year 1880 specifically to H.
H.
Cole and the title 'Curator of Ancient Monuments'.
The question appears within the book's continuing Static GK sequence even though it concerns Indian heritage administration rather than international geography.
Its placement has been retained rather than reclassified because the source's progression is being followed.
The book does not explain the duties of the curator, the institution involved, the duration of Cole's appointment, his works or the roles of the other three persons.
Therefore those details have not been introduced as source-derived content.
A reverse question may ask: H.
H.
Cole was appointed to which post in 1880?
Answer — Curator of Ancient Monuments.
Quick revision: 1880 — H.
H.
Cole — Curator of Ancient Monuments.
Therefore option (a), H.
H.
Cole, is correct.

सही उत्तर H. H. Cole है। स्रोत के अनुसार H. H. Cole को 1880 में Curator of Ancient Monuments नियुक्त किया गया था। Book की explanation केवल यही direct statement देती है और कोई further biographical या administrative information नहीं देती। इसलिए main source-supported association है: H. H. Cole — Curator of Ancient Monuments — Appointment Year 1880। John Marshall, Alexander Cunningham और James Fergusson original question में distractors हैं। चारों names broadly archaeology, architecture या heritage-related context जैसे लग सकते हैं, इसलिए केवल name recognition पर depend करने से confusion हो सकता है। Best revision method है year 1880 को specifically H. H. Cole और Curator of Ancient Monuments title के साथ associate करना। Question book के Static GK sequence में आता है, हालांकि fact Indian heritage administration से संबंधित है। Source progression preserve करने के कारण इसे silently किसी दूसरे topic में shift नहीं किया गया है। Book curator के duties, institution, tenure, Cole के works या बाकी तीन personalities की roles इस entry में explain नहीं करती। इसलिए outside information को source-derived content के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Reverse question हो सकता है: 1880 में H. H. Cole को किस post पर नियुक्त किया गया था? Answer — Curator of Ancient Monuments। Quick revision: 1880 — H. H. Cole — Curator of Ancient Monuments। इसलिए विकल्प (a), H. H. Cole, सही उत्तर है।
