Instructions ›

The Arab League, formed in 1945 at the behest of Britain, suffered due to lack of trust among the member countries. In November 1947 the UN General Assembly approved the partition of Palestine to resolve the Arab-Israel conflict. Although the Jewish Leadership accepted this, the Palestinian Arabs and the Arab League called it unfair and rejected it. They wanted Palestinians to get the right to rule according to the UN Charter.

Option 4: "The 1947 UN Resolution paved the way for a lasting solution to the Arab–Israeli dispute."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text indicates that the UN General Assembly approved the partition of Palestine to resolve the Arab-Israel conflict. However, it also states that the Palestinian Arabs and the Arab League rejected this resolution, indicating that it did not lead to a lasting solution, thus making this statement incorrect.

Option 1: "Jordan was a British colony till 1946."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not provide any information about Jordan's colonial status or its timeline. The passage focuses on the Arab League and the Arab-Israel conflict, making this statement not given.

Option 2: "Many West Asian countries got independence after the Second World War."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not mention the independence of West Asian countries or provide any details about their colonial histories. Therefore, this information cannot be inferred from the passage.

Option 3: "The Arab League was virtually a creation of Britain."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the text states that the Arab League was formed at the behest of Britain, it does not imply that it was a 'creation' of Britain. The term 'creation' suggests a deeper level of control or influence that is not supported by the text.
