The correct answer is option 4, which states that statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Let`s break down each option to better understand:

Option 1 states that statement 1 is correct. Statement 1 claims that the Progressive Writers Association thought critically about the poverty and hunger of the Indian people. This statement aligns with the goals and intentions of the Progressive Writers Association, as they aimed to address social issues and inequalities through their creative works.

Option 2 states that statements 2 and 3 are correct. Statement 2 states that the association brought out the positive developments of colonialism. This statement is not true as the Progressive Writers Association actually criticized colonialism and its negative impact, focusing on highlighting the struggles and inequalities faced by the Indian people. Therefore, option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3 states that statements 1 and 4 are correct. Statement 4 claims that the association planned India`s development model. This statement is not accurate as the Progressive Writers Association was primarily focused on advocating for social change and addressing societal issues through their creative pursuits, rather than planning development models. Hence, option 3 is incorrect.

Alert - correct answer should be option 4.
