Explanation:

These questions are related to historical events, political figures' actions, and social movements, so the subfield of Social Science - History is most appropriate. Here are brief explanations and answers for a few (taking question 16 as an example):

Question 16: What was the goal of Gandhi’s Salt March, and what were the effects?

The Salt March (Dandi March) was led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. The goal was to protest against the British Salt Act, which gave the British a monopoly on salt production and prohibited Indians from making or selling salt. By breaking this law (by making salt from seawater at Dandi), Gandhi aimed to challenge British colonial rule and inspire civil disobedience across India. The effects included a widespread growth of the civil disobedience movement, increased international attention to India's independence struggle, and a boost to Indian nationalistic sentiment. It also put pressure on the British government to consider political reforms in India.

Answer:

Goal: To protest the British Salt Act (monopoly on salt) and spark civil disobedience against colonial rule.
Effects: Expanded civil disobedience, raised international awareness of India’s struggle, boosted nationalism, and pressured Britain for reforms.

(For other questions, similar historical analysis based on the respective events/figures would be done. For example, question 17 about Nnamdi Azikiwe: He believed in using education, political organization, and peaceful negotiation (through the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons - NCNC) to achieve Nigeria's independence from British colonial rule, working towards a united and independent Nigerian state.)
