The complete idiom is 'The early bird catches the worm,' which means success comes to those who prepare well and put in effort early. This proverb emphasizes the advantage of being proactive and starting tasks early rather than procrastinating. 'Worm' is the correct object that the early bird catches.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). When carbon dioxide is frozen at -78.5°C (-109.3°F), it becomes dry ice. The term 'dry' distinguishes it from regular ice because it doesn't melt into a liquid - it sublimates directly from solid to gas. The option has a spelling error: 'Corbondioxide' should be 'Carbon dioxide'.

Mango showers, also known as pre-monsoon showers, occur on the Malabar Coast of Kerala. These rains typically happen in March-April and are crucial for mango cultivation in the region. The term comes from the fact that these showers help mango trees flower and set fruit. The phenomenon is specific to India's southwestern coast.

The Blockbuster was a specific type of bomb used by the British RAF during World War II. These were large, high-capacity bombs (initially 8,000 lbs, later 12,000 and 22,000 lbs) used for area bombing. The name 'Blockbuster' comes from their ability to destroy an entire city block. While atomic bombs were used in WWII, the question specifically asks about the named bomb 'Blockbuster'.

The complete proverb is 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do,' which means one should follow the customs and behavior of the local people when visiting a foreign place. This idiom encourages cultural adaptation and respect for local traditions. 'Romans' is the correct answer - it's about following Roman customs when in Rome.

The claimed answer C is marked as ABRAHAM LINCOLN (misspelled as ABRHAM LINCON). Lincoln had humble beginnings, but he was not a cobbler by trade - he worked as a store clerk, postmaster, and split rails for a living. The factual premise of the question is questionable. If this refers to a president who was a shoemaker/cobbler, none of the listed options fit. However, based on the claimed answer and the humble origins association, the question seems to intend Lincoln despite the inaccurate job description.

This is a common proverb: 'The first step is the hardest.' Once you overcome initial resistance and actually start something, subsequent steps become easier. The other options (boring, easiest, weakest) don't fit the meaning of this well-known saying about perseverance and beginning tasks.

Agni-II is India's intermediate-range ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2000-3000 km. The operational range is widely cited as 2000+ km, making option B correct. This missile system is part of India's strategic deterrence capability.

Majuli Island in the Brahmaputra River (Assam) is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's largest river island. It is formed by the Brahmaputra River and is a unique ecological and cultural site. The other states listed don't contain this geographical feature.

This is the proverb 'Opportunity seldom knocks twice,' meaning rare chances don't come around often, so you should seize them when they appear. 'Seldom' means rarely or infrequently, which captures the warning about not missing unique opportunities. 'Always', 'definitely', and 'maybe' don't convey this meaning.

Hank Ketcham created the comic strip 'Dennis the Menace' in 1951. The question misspells it as 'DENICE THE MENACE' but Ketcham is the correct answer. The Brontë sisters were novelists, and Disraeli was a British Prime Minister - none created this famous cartoon character.

The Italian city of Pisa, famous for its Leaning Tower, is located on the banks of the Arno River in the Tuscany region. The Arno flows through Florence and Pisa before emptying into the Ligurian Sea. The other rivers listed are in different European regions.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bombs during WWII. He is often called 'the father of the atomic bomb.' Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, Marie Curie studied radioactivity (misspelled here as Merry Cury), and Richard is too vague to identify.

Google is by far the world's most dominant search engine, handling over 90% of global search queries. While Yahoo, MSN (now Bing), and Amazon are major internet companies, Google Search is the clear leader in search functionality and market share.
