    Solution

    · The Cripps mission proposals failed to satisfy Indian Nationalists and turned down by the Congress on grounds of: The offer of dominion status instead of a provision for complete independence. Hence, statement 1 is correct. Representation of states by nominees and not by elected representatives. Hence, statement 2 is correct. Absence of any plan for immediate transfer of power and absence of any real share in defence, the governor general’s supremacy had been retained, and the demand for Governor-General being only the constitutional head had not been accepted. Hence, statement 3 is correct. The Muslim leaugue criticized the idea of a single Indian union and it opposed the grounds of machinery for the creation of a constituent assembly and the procedure to decide on the accession of provinces to the Union. Hence statement 4 is incorrect.
