Consider the following statements:

  2. The Post Office Act passed by the Government of Lord Canning withdrew the sepoys' privilege of fee postage. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 only

  2. 2 only

  4. Neither 1 nor 2

D Correct answer
Explanation

Neither statement is correct as written. Statement 1 misspells Lord Dalhousie's name (Dalhoulie), and it was his government that passed the General Service Enlistment Act in 1856, not a different governor. Statement 2 has issues with the act's description. The Post Office Act of 1854 did change postage arrangements, but the characterization of 'withdrawing privilege' needs more contextual accuracy. Both statements contain significant factual or spelling errors.
