2. The house was built in the early 20th century during the peak of the Indian independence movement.
3. It was situated on Mosque Street in the island town of Rameswaram.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: C
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The house was made of limestone and brick and located on Mosque Street.Structural Breakdown: The description provides three architectural and geographical anchors: material (limestone/brick), timeline (mid-19th century), and location (Mosque Street, Rameswaram). Historical/Related Context: Rameswaram is a historically significant island town in Tamil Nadu, known for its pilgrimage sites.
Houses built in the mid-19th century often utilized local limestone and traditional brickwork.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 2 is incorrect because Kalam explicitly states that the ancestral house was built in the middle of the 19th century, not the early 20th century.
