Answer 1

Step 1: Identify Place (A).
The incident mentioned refers to the infamous Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, which took place on 13 April 1919. On the day of Baisakhi, thousands of men, women, and children had gathered peacefully at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab. General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to fire on the unarmed crowd without any warning, resulting in the death of hundreds of innocent people. This incident became a turning point in the Indian freedom struggle and intensified nationalist sentiments across the country.
Therefore, the correct answer for Place (A) is: \[ \boxed{\text{Amritsar}} \]

Step 2: Identify Place (B).
The Indian National Congress held its historic 1927 Session at Madras (present-day Chennai). The session was presided over by Dr. M.A. Ansari. During this session, the Congress decided to boycott the Simon Commission because it did not include any Indian members. This decision marked an important phase in India's struggle against British rule.
Therefore, the correct answer for Place (B) is: \[ \boxed{\text{Madras (Chennai)}} \]

Step 3: Final Answers.
(A) Amritsar
(B) Madras (Chennai)
