{'42nd amendment': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'secular': [6, 0, 0, 1], 'republic': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'preamble': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'sovereign': [4, 0, 2, 0], 'words': [2, 0, 2, 1], 'socialist': [7, 0, 0, 4]}

Option 1: Secular, Democratic. This option is incorrect. While the word "Secular" was indeed inserted by the 42nd Amendment to the Preamble of the Constitution, the word "Democratic" was already present in the original Preamble.

Option 2: Sovereign, Democratic. This option is incorrect. The word "Sovereign" was already present in the original Preamble of the Constitution. It was not inserted by the 42nd Amendment.

Option 3: Socialist, Secular. This option is correct. The 42nd Amendment inserted the words "Socialist" and "Secular" into the Preamble of the Constitution. This amendment was passed in 1976 and sought to reflect the social and political ideals of the Indian Constitution.

Option 4: Secular, Republic. This option is incorrect. While the word "Secular" was inserted by the 42nd Amendment, the word "Republic" was already part of the original Preamble. Therefore, only option 3 is correct.
