Alert - correct answer should be 1 New Delhi.

Option 1, New Delhi, is the correct answer. The preliminary talks between the Sri Lankan Government and representatives of the Tamil United Liberation Front and other militant groups took place in New Delhi, the capital of India. The Indian government played a significant role in these discussions.

Option 2, Colombo, is the capital of Sri Lanka and although it is relevant to the context, it was not the venue of these preliminary talks.

Option 3, Zirconium, is incorrect as it is not a location but rather a chemical element.

Option 4, Chennai, is also not correct. It is a city in India, with a large Tamil population, and has strong cultural links with Sri Lanka but it was not the location of these talks.
