<div class="ai-exp-block"> <b>Explanation:</b> <p>The Government of India Act 1935 was a major constitutional reform that reorganized the governance of British India. It extended provincial autonomy, broadened representative institutions, and laid down structural changes for administration. Though the question frames it as the act that separated Burma from India, the act is the one listed in the options as the constitutional reform associated with that era. The act influenced administrative arrangements affecting Burma as part of British India, but Burma’s formal separation occurred through later measures. In revision, remember: 1935 Act = large reorganization of provinces and governance in British India.</p> </div> <div class="ai-did-block"> <b>?

Affable means friendly, pleasant, and easy to talk to.
The adjective “affable” is always followed by the preposition “to” when referring to people.

The verb appeal takes different prepositions depending on meaning:
appeal to (someone) = make a request or attract.
He appealed to the judge for mercy.
This idea appeals to me. (= attracts me)

appeal against (something) = formally challenge, protest, or oppose (especially a judgment/decision).
The player appealed against the umpire’s decision.
They will appeal against the court order.

In this sentence, it’s about challenging a decision, so the correct preposition is against.
