Pick out the incorrectly paired from the following :
(1) Smoke and Ashes : Opium's Hidden Histories - Amitav Ghosh
(2) The Golden Road - William Dalrymple
(3) Twilight Prisoners : The Rise of the Hindu Right and the Decline of India - Minakshi Dewan
(4) The Final Farewell : Understanding the Last Rites and Rituals of India's Major Faiths - Siddhartha Deb
Answer: D
The key marks pairs (3) and (4) as incorrect. Amitav Ghosh wrote Smoke and Ashes: Opium's Hidden Histories and William Dalrymple wrote The Golden Road, so (1) and (2) are correct.
The remaining two author attributions are not accepted by the key, so (3) and (4) are the incorrectly paired ones. Options naming (1) or (2) as incorrect are rejected.
The Golden Road, published in 2024, is by William Dalrymple and Smoke and Ashes by Amitav Ghosh (2023), so these two attributions are the standard ones.
