Exam answer
(1) W.C. BONNERJEE presided over the FIRST session, at Bombay in 1885. (2) DADABHAI NAOROJI presided over the SECOND session, at Calcutta in 1886.
Explanation
One mark each. Give the place and year with each name. The examiners’ report records that some candidates gave the names of the FOUNDERS instead of the PRESIDENTS — A.O. Hume FOUNDED the Congress but never presided over these sessions. Learn the trio as one set, since papers ask for any of the three: Hume founded it, Bonnerjee presided first, Naoroji second.
