- 1. The Constituent Assembly as a 'microcosm in action': Granville Austin
- 2. The Indian Constitution as a 'seamless web': Paul Brass
- 3. The DPSP as 'pious aspirations': Ivor Jennings

A1 and 3
B1 and 4
C2 and 3
D1, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 3 and 4 — Pairs 1, 3 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Pairs 1, 3 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
★Granville Austin called the Constituent Assembly a microcosm of the nation in action.
★Ivor Jennings dismissed the directive principles as pious aspirations without legal force.
★Granville Austin described the Indian Constitution as a social document of revolution.
★Pair 2 is wrong, because the seamless web phrase is also Granville Austin's, not Paul Brass's.
★Austin saw the Constitution's goals of social revolution, unity and democracy as a seamless web.
★So only the attribution of the seamless web to Paul Brass is incorrect.
