Explanation:

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: India, with its large size and diversity, usually prefers to have two houses of the national legislature to give representation to all sections of the society, to bring harmony in the society, to cater to the needs of every section of the society, and also to accommodate people from all geographical regions or parts of the country so that the legislature can cater to the needs of every corner of the country. Statement 3 is correct: Every decision taken by one house goes to the other house for its decision, which means that every bill and policy would be discussed twice. This ensures a double check on every matter. Even if one house takes a decision in haste,that decision will come up for discussion in another house, and reconsideration will be possible. Statement 4 is incorrect: If every bill and policy will be discussed twice,it is not easy to pass a bill. This will not fulfil the aspirations of society. The presence of two houses will facilitate deliberate discussion of a bill or policy brought out by the government.
