{'indian constitution': [102, 1, 17, 18], 'amendment': [2, 1, 0, 5], 'secular': [6, 0, 0, 1], 'socialist': [7, 0, 0, 4], '42nd': [6, 0, 2, 1], 'preamble': [1, 0, 0, 1], '28th': [2, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, the 42nd Amendment of the Indian Constitution inserted the words `Socialist` and `Secular` in the Preamble.

Option 1, the 28th Amendment, is incorrect as there is no such amendment that added these words.

Option 2, the 40th Amendment, is also incorrect as it did not introduce these words in the Preamble.

Option 4, the 52nd Amendment, is incorrect as it is not the correct amendment that added these words.

Therefore, the 42nd Amendment is the correct amendment that inserted the words `Socialist` and `Secular` in the Preamble.
