Explanation:

- The blank No. 4 comes in the sentence: "to unite the (4)______ under a central authority."

- Let's look at the options:

1. state – This could mean individual regions, but doesn’t fit well in the context of uniting the whole.

2. country – This usually refers to the whole nation, which would fit if it said "unite the country," but the sentence talks about many divisions.

3. territory – This implies land and area, which could fit, but often is less about people and more about land.

4. region – This refers to different parts or areas, and works well when speaking about uniting a divided land under one authority.

- The passage describes India’s disunity and the lack of a single power uniting its many divided areas. "Region" fits best, as it refers to these divided parts.

- "Country" would mean uniting an already whole nation, which is not the situation described.

- Correct Answer: Option 4, region.
