Answer 1

The Correct Option is B,

To solve the given question, we need to evaluate each statement based on the context provided and determine which ones are true.

1. The statement "
   The story is an account of real events.
   " suggests that the story is factual. Without specific evidence or context indicating that the events in the story are real, we cannot conclude this statement to be true. Hence, this is not a true statement in the context provided.
2. The statement "
   The story hinges on a particular historical event.
   " indicates that the story revolves around a specific event in history. Given the information provided, this could be true if the story focuses on a known historical incident. If there's a clear historical reference, this statement is correct.
3. The statement "
   Rajendra Deshpande was a historian.
   " would be correct if there was evidence or background context indicating that Rajendra Deshpande performed roles typical of a historian or was identified as one. Without such information, this statement is not necessarily true.
4. The statement "
   The places mentioned in the story are all imaginary.
   " would be true if all locations within the story do not correspond to real-world geography. However, without specific information indicating this, we cannot assume reality or fictionality of the place names. Thus, this statement is not considered true without additional context.
5. The statement "
   The story tries to relate history to science.
   " would be true if there is an indication that the story attempts to connect historical events or concepts with scientific theories or ideas. If such an interdisciplinary attempt is evident, then this statement is correct.

Based on the analysis of the given options and context, the correct statements are:

• The story hinges on a particular historical event.
• The story tries to relate history to science.

These are the statements that are true according to the context and should be ticked.
