UPSC Prelims 2018— Question 79

**Concept and analysis:** The All India Home Rule League founded by Annie Besant was renamed Swarajya Sabha in 1920 in the context of the changing nationalist political environment. The Hindu Mahasabha, South Indian Liberal Federation and Servants of India Society were separate organisations with different histories. The question is testing precise UPSC-level identification rather than a broad association. The key is to distinguish the exact institutional, constitutional, historical, geographical, economic or scientific feature being asked. **Option-wise evaluation** **Option A:** Correct. All India Home Rule League directly matches the concept or factual identification established in the analysis. **Option B:** Incorrect. Hindu Mahasabha is a different institution, place, definition, proposition or description and does not satisfy the specific requirement of the question. **Option C:** Incorrect. South Indian Liberal Federation is a different institution, place, definition, proposition or description and does not satisfy the specific requirement of the question. **Option D:** Incorrect. The Servants of India Society is a different institution, place, definition, proposition or description and does not satisfy the specific requirement of the question. **UPSC takeaway:** The safest way to solve this type of question is to anchor the answer in the defining feature of the concept and then test every option against that feature. Closely related institutions or terms are often used as distractors. In statement-based questions, do not judge the option as a whole before checking each statement independently. In factual questions, compare the wording of each option with the exact definition, location, institutional role, chronology or scientific property. The correct answer follows from that verification rather than from familiarity with a keyword.
