International Women's Day is celebrated globally on March 8th every year. It commemorates the movement for women's rights and celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day was first observed in 1911 and has been recognized by the United Nations since 1975.

International Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition began in 1930 and was revived by the United Nations in 2011 to promote friendship between peoples, countries, and cultures as a way to build bridges and contribute to world peace.

International Left-Handers Day is observed on August 13th every year. This day celebrates left-handedness and raises awareness about the unique challenges and advantages that left-handed people face in a predominantly right-handed world. Approximately 10% of the world's population is left-handed.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is observed on November 25th every year. This day was designated by the United Nations to raise awareness about violence against women and promote action to prevent and eliminate it. The date was chosen to commemorate the Mirabal sisters who were assassinated in 1960.

This question appears outdated. M. Karunanidhi was a former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (last term ended 2011). The question seems to be from an older time period when this was current information. For modern contexts, this would be considered historical rather than current affairs.

Both A and C are authentic APJ Abdul Kalam quotes. Quote A about 'Thinking should become your capital asset' reflects his emphasis on intellectual resilience. Quote C containing the Rameswaram reference is from his autobiographical writings, specifically from 'Wings of Fire'. Quotes B and D are not Kalam's words.

'The Vision' is the correct poem title. This poem, with its recurring structure of 'I climbed... I ploughed... I sailed...' followed by a vision for the nation, embodies Kalam's quest for excellence and his dream for India's development. The poem's themes of climbing, ploughing, and sailing represent continuous effort toward higher goals.

'Wings of Fire' is APJ Abdul Kalam's autobiography covering his early life, education, and career as a scientist. It is one of the best-selling books in India and details his journey from Rameswaram to becoming a prominent aerospace scientist and later the President of India.

Entomology is the study of insects, so the parallel branch of zoology that studies birds is ornithology. Oology is specifically the study of eggs (not the birds themselves), while zoology is too broad (covers all animals) and botany is the wrong kingdom entirely.

Ampere is the SI unit for electric current, just as Watt is the SI unit for power. The relationship follows the pattern: unit → physical quantity. Time, work, and energy are physical quantities but Watt specifically measures power (rate of energy transfer per unit time).

This is a letter-based sequence pattern. BY (B=2, Y=25) shifts letters by +9 then -7: B(2)→Y(25)→(+9)→H(8). Applying the same pattern: D(4)+9=W(23), W(23)-7=H(8). The next pair is HS following the established transformation rule.

The pattern uses each letter's position from the start and end of the alphabet. E is 5th from start, V is 5th from end (26-5+1=22). F is 6th from start, U is 6th from end. G is 7th from start, T is 7th from end. H is 8th from start, S is 8th from end. Applying to BCD: B is 2nd from start so Y (2nd from end), C is 3rd from start so X (3rd from end), D is 4th from start so W (4th from end). This gives YXW.

This is an analogy based on male-female pairs of animals. Nephew (male human) relates to Niece (female human). Similarly, Stag (male deer) relates to Doe (female deer). Lioness would be the female of Lion, not Stag. Bee has drone/queen distinctions, not typically expressed this way.

Each letter in the sequence advances by 3 positions in the alphabet. CAT: C(3)+3=F(6), A(1)+3=D(4), T(20)+3=W(23) gives FDW. FDW: F(6)+3=I(9), D(4)+3=G(7), W(23)+3=Z(26) gives IGZ. IGZ: I(9)+3=L(12), G(7)+3=J(10), Z(26)+3 wraps to C(3) gives LJC. Option D matches this pattern.

The pattern has three components: first number follows 3×2=6, 6×3=18, 18×4=72; middle letters advance by 3 (F→I→L→O); last number adds 4, then 4, then 8 (4+2=6, 6+4=10, 10+8=18). The multiplier sequence is 2,3,4 and the addition sequence doubles each time (4,4,8). Option A (72O18) fits: 72 from 18×4, O from L+3, and 18 from 10+8.

The sequence increases by one letter each term: A (1 letter), CD (2 letters), FGH (3 letters), JKLM (4 letters). The letters continue sequentially through the alphabet. After JKLM, the next letters are NOPQR (5 letters). Option B matches exactly.

Each letter is paired with its position in the alphabet: E is the 5th letter, H is the 8th letter, J is the 10th letter. N is the 14th letter, so N-14 is the correct pair. Option C matches this.

The relationship appears to be semantic. MAKE relates to UNDERTAKE (synonyms involving doing/work). POSITION relates to JOB (both refer to work/employment role). The other options (PLACE, SALARY, ARRANGEMENT) are less directly related to the concept of position as a role.
