Question

"Indian history was written by British historians-extremely well documented and researched, but not always impartial. History had to serve its purpose: Everything was made subservient to the glory of the Union Jack. Latter-day Indian scholars presented a contrary picture."

From the text above, we can infer that:
India history written by British historians________

• A. was well documented and not researched but was always biased
• B. was not well documented and researched and was always biased
• C. was well documented and researched but was sometimes biased
• D. was not well documented and researched and was sometimes biased

Answer 1

It is given at the starting of the paragraph that the Indian history written by British historians was extremely well documented and researched and later it is intended to say that it was sometimes biased. The sentence ‘but not always impartial’ implies that it was sometimes biased.

So, the correct answer is $(C).$
