Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To match the authors with their respective works correctly, we need to identify the correct pairings from the list provided. Here are the steps involved:

• Shashi Tharoor: He is best known for "Inglorious Empire," which critiques the colonial rule of Britain in India. Thus, A matches with R.
• Salman Rushdie: Known for various novels, but among the given options, he is not the author of any, resulting in a possible matching with Shalimar the Clown (S).
• Vikram Seth: An acclaimed author associated with the novel "A Suitable Boy." Thus, C matches with P.
• Arundhati Roy: Recognized for "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness." Hence, D pairs with T.
• Amitav Ghosh: Renowned for "Sea of Poppies," linking E with Q.

The correct matching sequence based on the analysis is:
