    • (b) The Governor of the neighbouring state
    • (c) A Lieutenant Governor or Administrator
    • (d) The Union Home Minister directly

    Answer: (c) A Lieutenant Governor or Administrator. Union Territories are typically administered by a Lieutenant Governor or Administrator appointed by and acting on behalf of the President, though some (like Delhi and Puducherry) also have their own elected legislatures with limited powers.

    • (a) Sher Shah Suri
    • (b) Babur
    • (c) Ibrahim Lodi
    • (d) Ahmad Shah Abdali

    Answer: (a) Sher Shah Suri. Sher Shah Suri, who defeated Humayun and ruled North India (1540-45) including Punjab, introduced significant administrative and currency reforms, including the rupee coin system.

  3. Q3. What is the meaning of the word 'Versatile'?

    • (a) Limited to a single function only
    • (b) Confused
    • (c) Able to adapt to many different functions or activities
    • (d) Extremely rigid and inflexible

    Answer: (c) Able to adapt to many different functions or activities. 'Versatile' means capable of adapting or being adapted to many different functions, activities, or purposes.

  4. Q4. Complete the analogy: Captain is to Ship as Pilot is to?

    • (a) Airplane
    • (b) Runway
    • (c) Airport
    • (d) Passenger

    Answer: (a) Airplane. Just as a Captain commands/is in charge of a Ship, a Pilot commands/is in charge of an Airplane, following the same 'commanding officer-to-vehicle' relationship pattern.

    • (b) Punjabi is generally SOV and English is SVO
    • (c) Punjabi has no fixed word order
    • (d) Both follow SVO

    Answer: (b) Punjabi is generally SOV and English is SVO. A key structural difference is that Punjabi generally follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, while English follows Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) order, an important grammatical distinction for translation and language learning.
