Practice Questions

Q1. The literature engraved on inscriptions, coins and seals is called _________ literature. Choose the most appropriate option from below:

A Folk
B Epigraphic Correct
C Regional
D Traditional

Explanation

Epigraphic literature refers to writing preserved on inscriptions and similar durable objects, including coins and seals. The word fits the material named in the question, so it is the most appropriate completion. Folk literature is transmitted through oral or community traditions rather than being defined by engraving. Regional literature is classified by area or language, not by the medium of inscription. Traditional literature is a broad inherited body of texts and customs, but it does not specifically mean material engraved on inscriptions, coins or seals.
