Explanation

For map-based questions, you must identify the correct location (Amritsar) and be ready to mark it on the outline map of India, usually in Punjab (northwestern India). The examiner looks for the correct place name. Mentioning the date (13 April 1919) and General Dyer briefly adds context but is not strictly required for 1 mark.
