stats:

keywords: 

{'constitutional authority': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'electoral college': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'appointment': [7, 1, 5, 11], 'mps': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'procedure': [6, 0, 4, 13], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'mlas': [1, 0, 0, 3]}

The correct answer is option 3: 1 and 3 only.

Let`s break down each option:

1. President: The President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of elected Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) and Members of Parliament (MPs). This is a correct match.

2. Vice-President: The Vice-President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of MLAs and MPs. This is not a correct match as the Vice-President is elected only by Members of Parliament, not MLAs.

3. Speaker: The Speaker of the House of People (Lok Sabha) is chosen after its first sitting. This is a correct match.

Therefore, only options 1 (President) and 3 (Speaker) are correctly matched.

Please note that the answer provided is generally correct. However, there is a possibility of a misinterpretation in option 2. If the option was meant to say "Vice-President: Elected by an electoral college consisting of only MLAs or MPs," then the answer would be incorrect.
