General Knowledge Trivia

By discharge volume, the Amazon is the world's largest river, releasing about 209,000 cubic meters per second. The Nile is often cited as the longest river at approximately 6,650 km. The question likely asks about discharge rather than length, making Amazon the correct answer.

Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook along with Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. While the question uses the singular 'founder,' Zuckerberg is recognized as the primary founder and CEO. Orkut was founded by Buyukkokten, which explains the presence of similar tech founder names in the options.

Orkut Buyukkokten created the social networking site Orkut while working as a software engineer at Google. The platform was particularly popular in Brazil and India. Zuckerberg founded Facebook, Sergey Brin co-founded Google, and Larry is a reference to Larry Page, Google's other co-founder.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. The correct answer option uses intentionally inconsistent capitalization (LaRry PaGe and SerGin BriN), which appears to test attention to detail rather than actual knowledge. This is a case where the correct names are present but the formatting is deliberately irregular.

Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet are all plays written by William Shakespeare. Phaedrus is a philosophical dialogue by Plato, not a Shakespearean work. This question tests knowledge of literature and authorship, requiring recognition of the playwright versus the philosopher.

Steve Jobs, despite the misspelling as 'Steve job', is indeed the most prominent founder of Apple Inc. among the options provided. While Steve Wozniak (option C) was also a co-founder, Steve Jobs is widely recognized as the primary founder and face of Apple.

The United States has the world's largest railway network by total route length, approximately 250,000 km of track. This extensive network was built primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. India ranks fourth globally with about 68,000 km, while China has rapidly expanded its network but remains second to the USA in total route length.

BHB stands for 'Baby Holding Breath' in medical and parenting contexts. It refers to breath-holding spells, which are involuntary episodes where young children stop breathing temporarily, often triggered by pain, fear, or upset. This is a recognized pediatric phenomenon, though the acronym BHB is not as commonly used in medical literature as the full descriptive term.

In respiratory distress, babies show multiple visible signs: nasal flaring (nostrils widen), chest/abdominal retractions (stomach muscles visibly work harder), and changes in overall body posture/structure. These signs together indicate breathing difficulty.

Babies are born without kneecaps (patella). The kneecap develops from cartilage between ages 2-6 years. Newborns DO have fingernails, eyelashes, and taste buds at birth.

White coating on a baby's tongue is oral thrush, a common yeast infection (Candida albicans) in infants. Diaper rash affects the diaper area, milk rash is different, and internal yeast infection would have other symptoms.

A young mosquito in aquatic larval stage is called a wriggler. They actively wriggle/swim in water. An infant is a human baby, a flapper is not a mosquito stage, and a foal is a young horse.

A young mouse can be called pinkie (newborn, hairless and pink), kitten (also called kit), or pup. Infant is too general and used for humans. Mouse young have several accepted names depending on age.
