1. Which of the following factors is impeding economic growth in India?
To determine the factor impeding economic growth in India, let's analyze the options:
A. Poor infrastructure: This is a possible factor impeding economic growth as inadequate infrastructure can hinder the movement of goods, services, and people.
B. Its command economy: India does not have a command economy, so this option can be eliminated.
C. Microlending: Microlending can actually have positive effects on economic growth by providing small loans to individuals who lack access to traditional banking systems.
D. Outsourcing: Outsourcing, particularly in the IT industry, has contributed to economic growth in India.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be A. Poor infrastructure.
2. Which was the eventual outcome of the conflict between East Pakistan and West Pakistan in 1971?
To determine the eventual outcome of the conflict between East Pakistan and West Pakistan in 1971, let's analyze the options:
A. India helped West Pakistan gain its independence: This option is incorrect as West Pakistan did not seek independence but rather tried to suppress the independence movement in East Pakistan.
B. A communist political party took control of East Pakistan: While East Pakistan did achieve independence, it did not result in a communist political party taking control.
C. East Pakistan became the nation of Bangladesh: This is the correct answer. East Pakistan declared independence and eventually became the nation of Bangladesh.

B. Caste-based discrimination has been outlawed: This option is partially correct. Both India and Pakistan have implemented laws to outlaw caste-based discrimination, but it may still occur in practice.
C. Women can now belong to the highest castes: The caste system is not based on gender, so this option is incorrect.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be B. Caste-based discrimination has been outlawed.
4. Which of the following factors contributes to South Asia's environmental challenges?

B. Ash from volcanic explosions: South Asia does not have active volcanoes, so this option can be eliminated.
C. Destruction from earthquakes: While earthquakes can cause significant damage, they are not exclusive to South Asia and do not contribute directly to environmental challenges.
D. Drought from low rainfall: Droughts resulting from low rainfall are a significant environmental challenge in South Asia, affecting agriculture and water availability.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be A. Pollution from motor vehicle exhaust.
