Model Answer

Explanation

For map-skill questions asking to identify a place, name the location clearly and add one supporting fact (what happened there). Examiners expect "Champaran" as the answer; mentioning Bihar and the indigo/plantation context confirms you know the historical context, which secures full marks.

If a question refers to an image, map, graph or diagram that is not shown here, open the Study Guide single page app, go to Library and find the actual CBSE question paper. The original papers are also available on the CBSE website: cbse.gov.in.
