Question

"TAREGNA" - a village in Bihar was in the news because of

• A. Rahul Gandhi's election campaign
• B. Viewing of the solar eclipse
• C. A visit by Hillary Clinton
• D. The Naxal massacre of tribals

Hint:

Think of the major astronomical event that happened across India in July 2009.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This is a current affairs question tied to a specific 2009 news event in Bihar.

1. Rahul Gandhi's election campaign: no major campaign stop at Taregna was reported in the news of that time.
2. Viewing of the solar eclipse: this matches, since Taregna was a key spot for watching the July 2009 total solar eclipse, partly due to its old link with astronomer Aryabhata.
3. A visit by Hillary Clinton: her India visits did not include this village.
4. The Naxal massacre of tribals: no such incident tied to Taregna made headlines in this period.

So the solar eclipse viewing is the right answer, since it is the actual reason Taregna became a talking point.

Let's summarize:

• Taregna gained attention as a prime eclipse-viewing village during the 2009 total solar eclipse.

Remembering the year (2009) helps place this event correctly among similar options.
