Q. Which of the following ancient authors of South India belonged to the Sangam Age?
  1. Kapilar
  2. Avvaiyar
  3. Ilango Adigal
  4. Nakkirar
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Answer: Only 1, 2 & 4
Notes: Kapilar, Avvaiyar, and Nakkirar were prominent poets of the Sangam Age, contributing significantly to Sangam literature. Ilango Adigal is not a Sangam poet; he authored Silappadikaram, a key post-Sangam epic. Therefore, only options 1, 2, and 4 represent authors from the Sangam Age, while 3 does not.
