    Q1. For a before-and-after item on titles, which application about Jinnah and knighthood is correct?

    • A) He accepted a British knighthood in 1916 and kept the title Sir until independence
    • B) He renounced the title Sir after disagreements over Khilafat-related politics
    • C) He was never knighted at any stage

    Answer: He renounced the title Sir after disagreements over Khilafat-related politics

    Explanation: Jinnah was knighted in 1906 and used the title "Sir" for some years, but he renounced it following disagreements related to the Khilafat movement and political differences with British policy. He subsequently insisted on being addressed simply as Mr. Jinnah or Quaid-e-Azam.
