{'indian constitution': [102, 1, 17, 18], '42nd amendment': [2, 0, 0, 2], '24th amendment': [1, 0, 0, 0], '44th amendment': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'preamble': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: 42nd Amendment.

The Preamble of the Indian Constitution was indeed amended for the first time by the 42nd Amendment. This amendment took place in 1976 and brought about significant changes to the original Preamble.

Option 1, the 24th Amendment, is incorrect. The 24th Amendment, passed in 1971, focused on allowing limitations on the fundamental rights while safeguarding social welfare measures.

Option 3, the 44th Amendment, is also incorrect. The 44th Amendment, passed in 1978, primarily aimed at restoring fundamental rights that had been curtailed during the Emergency period.

Therefore, out of the given options, only the 42nd Amendment is correct. It is essential to understand the correct sequence of amendments to the Indian Constitution to have a clear understanding of its history and evolution.
