Question 1: What is the religious significance of the Ganges River in Hinduism?

Question 3: How long is a year on Jupiter?

A year on Jupiter is the time it takes for Jupiter to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is approximately 11.86 Earth years.

The polar bear is the largest extant bear species as well as the largest land predator. They can weigh over 900 kg (2,000 lb) and mainly live within the Arctic Circle, surrounding Arctic Ocean areas. They are a vulnerable species due to the loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change.


Question 7: What is the term for a word that has the opposite meaning to another word?

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings such as 'hot' and 'cold'. Knowledge of antonyms is useful for vocabulary building and can enhance communication and comprehension skills.



Question 8: Who is known as the father of Western philosophy?

Socrates is considered the father of Western philosophy due to his pioneering approach to philosophy in the West during the 5th century BCE in Athens. He never wrote down his teachings, but his ideas were passed on through the works of his students, notably Plato.


Question 9: What is the maximum number of clubs a golfer is allowed to carry in his bag according to the official rules of golf?

The maximum number of clubs a golfer is allowed to have in a bag for a round is 14, according to the rules of golf. This rule helps to maintain fairness and requires players to make strategic decisions about which clubs to include in their bag. The rule is stipulated by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and The R&A.


Question 10: What animal is the emblem of the United States of America?

The bald eagle was chosen as the emblem of the United States in 1782 because of its long life, great strength, and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on the American continent. It represents freedom and independence.
