Question 1 of 30
1. Question
1 pointsWhich is the oldest church in Bihar?
Correct
Padri-Ki-Haveli, also known as the Visitation of the blessed Virgin Mary, is the oldest church in Bihar. While the church was first built in 1713, the structure that we see today was designed by a Venetian architect, Tirreto, in 1772. The church has withstood many attacks, including by Nawab Mir Qasim in 1763, and during the First War of Independence in 1857. Although the Gothic building has many modern touches, it is largely well preserved and is a must-visit for those interested in history and heritage monuments. Earlier known as Mangle’s tank, the lake was built in 1856-75 (though some say it is more than 200 years old). During the digging of the lake, an old brick wall was found which is thought to have been ruins of the ancient city of Pataliputra.

Question 26 of 30
26. Question
1 pointsGeorge Orwell, the British writer, was born in which of the following places in Bihar?
Correct
To mark the 75th death anniversary of George Orwell (1903-1950), the British writer, the Royal Mint released a special 2-pound coin on Tuesday. The coin commemorates Orwell’s celebrated dystopian novel, 1984. This memorialisation, perhaps, completes the institutionalisation of a public intellectual who, in his lifetime, had a troubled relationship with the British establishment.
Orwell was a child of the Empire. He was born in Motihari on 25 June 1903, and spent his first four years in India. His childhood was mostly spent in private boarding schools in Imperial Britain and after completing school, he joined the Indian Imperial Police and served in Burma, then part of British India, for five years. He returned to Britain in his late 20s to become a writer.
