Q1Which of the following languages is not included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution?
Explanation
The Eighth Schedule lists the recognised scheduled languages of India. Nepali, Sindhi and Santhali are included in that schedule: Sindhi was added earlier, while Nepali and Santhali were added through later constitutional amendments along with other languages. English is widely used for official, administrative and educational purposes, but it is not one of the languages listed in the Eighth Schedule. The question asks for the language not included in that schedule, so English fits the official answer key.
