Q1When was Direct Action Day observed by the Muslim League?
Explanation
The Muslim League observed Direct Action Day on 16 August 1946 to press its demand for Pakistan after the Cabinet Mission developments. The date 15 August 1945 belongs to the closing phase of the Second World War, not this League campaign. 16 August 1947 falls after Indian independence, so it cannot be the announced Direct Action Day. 20 August 1947 is also after Partition and does not match the event asked in the stem.
