Question 1: Which movie was the first to win 11 Academy Awards?

"Ben-Hur," released in 1959, won a record-breaking 11 Oscars. This record was later matched by "Titanic" in 1997 and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" in 2003.


Question 2: Where did the practice of modern agriculture first develop?

The Fertile Crescent, also known as the "Cradle of Civilization", is located in the Middle East. It includes parts of modern-day Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt. It's where the first known agricultural practices began around 10,000 BCE.


Question 3: The Cold War was primarily a geopolitical conflict between which two powers?

The Cold War was characterised by political and military tension between the Western Bloc (led by the United States) and the Eastern Bloc (led by the Soviet Union) post World War II, from 1947 to 1991. Even though they were the main actors, the nature of the conflict was such that it involved most of the world either directly or indirectly through the fight for political influence and power.



Question 4: The Hubble Space Telescope is named after which famous astronomer?

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, is named in honor of astronomer Edwin Hubble who made significant discoveries in the field of extragalactic astronomy. He demonstrated the existence of galaxies beyond the Milky Way and developed Hubble's Law, which describes the expansion of the universe.


Question 5: In what year was the Ford Model T first produced?

The Ford Model T was the first mass-produced and affordable automobile. Over 15 million Model Ts were manufactured from 1908 to 1927, making it the best-selling automobile of its era.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," the first novel in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, was first published on June 26, 1997, in the United Kingdom by Bloomsbury Publishing. The book was released in the United States under the title "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 1998.


Question 7: Where does the story of "The Little Prince" take place?

While the Little Prince character is from a tiny asteroid, most of the story's events occur after his plane crashes in the Sahara Desert, where he meets the narrator.



Question 8: If a plant is a gymnosperm, which of the following does it lack?

Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, and ginkgos. They do not produce flowers or fruit, but instead bear their seeds in cones or similar structures.


Question 9: In what part of the plant is chlorophyll mainly found?

Chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and is critical for photosynthesis, is located in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This allows the plant to absorb energy from light.
