Question

Which of the following words is not mentioned in the Preamble of the Constitution?

• A. Socialist
• B. Secular
• C. Sovereign
• D. Public welfare

Hint:

Always memorize the Preamble verbatim; examiners love slipping in plausible-sounding but incorrect terms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall exact phrasing. Preamble: ``Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic'' and objectives: Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

Step 2: Compare choices. ``Public welfare'' (though a policy goal) does not appear as a Preamble word; it is rather associated with Directive Principles.

Step 3: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Public welfare (Option D).}} \]
