Answer 1

British Provincess to be divided on linguistic basis

Explanation:

The Cabinet Mission did not propose dividing the British provinces on a linguistic basis. Instead, it proposed a Federal Union of British provinces and princely states, the formation of a Constituent Assembly to draft India's constitution, and that the Union government would control communication, defence, and foreign affairs. Linguistic division was not part of the Cabinet Mission's plan.
