Solution
The correct options are
A Slave for sale! Well trained and obedient.
C An official within the company was seen accepting favors in return for his services.
D Warren Hastings: The Man, The Tyrant
In 1780, a weekly magazine called the Bengal Gazette was founded by James Augustus Hickey. Bengal Gazette was a private enterprise which was proud of its independence from the colonial influence and flaunted the description ‘a commercial paper open to all, but influenced by none’. The contents of the Gazette ranged from advertisements of the slave trade to gossip about senior officials in the English East India Company.
The second headline refers to Columbus, who landed on the shores of America in the late fifteenth century, which is why it wouldn't appear in the Gazette in 1780.
