] | Explanation: The Indian Constitution, which came into effect on 26 January 1950, has the dubious distinction of being the longest in the world. But its length and complexity are perhaps understandable when one considers the country’s size and diversity. The Constitution of India was framed between December 1946 and December 1949. During this time its drafts were discussed clause by clause in the Constituent Assembly of India. In all, the Assembly held eleven sessions, with sittings spread over 165 days. In between the sessions, the work of revising and refining the drafts was carried out by various committees and sub-committees. |

Based on the paper "RedStone: Curating General, Code, Math, and QA Data for Large Language Models" and the official GitHub repository, I have replicated the processing of the Multi-choice Question Aswering dataset within RedStone-QA in Redstone.
I followed the processing steps outlined in the official repository with minimal modifications.
The final processed dataset is similar in scale to what is presented in the paper, but I have not yet used this data for training to verify its quality.
