According to some interpretations of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna revealed his Vishwarupa (universal form) twice - first during the Gita discourse to Arjun, and second as 'Shanti Doot' (messenger of peace) before the war. The Shishupal Vadh and other events mentioned do not describe Krishna revealing his complete original form in the same theological sense as the Vishwarupa.

'Effective' is the correct spelling. The word derives from 'effect' and follows standard English spelling rules with double 'f' followed by '-ive'. 'Efective' is misspelled (missing one 'f'), and 'effactive' is an incorrect formation mixing 'effective' with 'active'. 'None' is incorrect since there is a valid option.

Sincerely is the correct spelling, derived from sincere + -ly. Sincirily and sincereally are incorrect phonetic spellings. Since only one option is correct, 'all of the above' cannot be the answer.

Achieve is the correct spelling, from achievement minus -ment. Archivee is incorrect (archive is different), achive is missing the 'e', and acheeve has an extra 'e'. The pattern is i-e-v-e, not i-e-e-v-e.

Quarrying is the correct spelling - it means extracting stone from a quarry. The word keeps the double 'r' from quarry and adds -ing. Qaring and quaryiing are incorrect formations.

Illicit is the correct spelling meaning unlawful or forbidden. Ellicit would be pronounced differently, ilicit is missing an 'l', and illiccit has an extra 'c'. Illicit begins with i-l-l, not e-l.

Strengthening is the correct spelling - formed from strength + -ening. The base is strength (with 'th'), and the suffix is -ening, making strengthening. This is a valid English word.

Appreciate is indeed the correct spelling. The word is a-p-p-r-e-c-i-a-t-e, with 'pr' not 'ppr', and '-ate' not '-8'. The statement is true.

The correct spelling is Environment, not Enviornment. The word has 'iron' not 'ioron' after 'n-v'. The given spelling has the wrong vowel sequence, so the answer is False.
