Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to health care, which one of the following best describes the term, a ‘never event’?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Option B is the correct answer: The concept of ‘never events’ (NE) is described broadly as serious and largely preventable incidents that should never occur in healthcare settings if proper safety protocols are followed.
- ‘Never events’ as a term was introduced in 2002 by the National Quality Forum (NQF) in the United States. It has since been adopted in the Western world, particularly in countries like the USA, United Kingdom, and Canada, who maintain a list of never events. These lists highlight the importance of preventing harm through systemic checks, improved processes, and strict adherence to safety protocols.
Never events lacks a universal definition and overlaps with terms like ’sentinel events’ or ‘serious reportable events’. These categories generally share the theme of preventable harm resulting in severe patient consequences such as operating on the wrong side of the limb, insulin overdoses, or mismatched blood transfusions. This could lead to disability, death, or great discomfort for the patient. The broad scope of never events overshadows the systemic complexities behind such incidents. Organisations.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Crimes Against Humanity, consider the following statements:
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- Crimes against humanity include murder, torture, persecution, rape and other sexual and gender-based crimes, deportation and forcible transfer, or other crimes committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against any civilian population.
- Statement 1 is not correct: CAH were first codified in the 1945 London Charter establishing the Nuremberg Tribunal to investigate and prosecute the crimes committed in connection with the Second World War and later in the statutes of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
- Statement 2 is not correct: Genocide and war crimes are governed by dedicated treaties, i.e., the Genocide Convention of 1948 and the Geneva Conventions of 1949, respectively. However, CAH are governed only under the Rome Statute, which includes specific criminal acts such as murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, torture, imprisonment, and rape committed as part of a ‘widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack’. At present, there is no dedicated treaty for CAH, creating a gap in terms of accountability in the legal architecture of international criminal justice

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the Legislature of a State in India, consider the following statements:
- The Governor is authorised to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly at any time to pave the way for fresh elections.
- The term of the State Legislative Assembly can be extended during the period of national emergency for one year at a time.
- After the premature dissolution of a State Legislative Assembly, midterm elections are held only for the remainder of the five-year term.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Like the Lok Sabha, the State Legislative Assembly is not a continuing chamber. Its normal term is five years from the date of its first meeting after the general elections . The expiration of the period of five years operates as automatic dissolution of the assembly. However, the Governor is authorised to dissolve the assembly at any time (i.e., even before the completion of five years) to pave the way for fresh elections.
- Statement 2 is correct: The term of the State Legislative Assembly can be extended during the period of national emergency by a law of Parliament for one year at a time (for any length of time).
Statement 3 is not correct: The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 provides that if the Lok Sabha or any State Assembly is dissolved before completing its full term, mid-term elections will be held only for the remainder of the five-year term. But at present there is no such provision.

- It is the largest hornet species native to Asia.
- It poses a threat to honeybee populations.
- Like the honeybees, Northern Giant Hornet have the ability to sting only once.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: The northern giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is the largest hornet in the world, measuring up to 2 inches long. They are an invasive species from Asia. They first came under the spotlight in 2013 when they killed at least 42 people in China, and seriously injured 1,675.
- Statement 2 is correct: The Northern giant hornet, nicknamed the “murder hornet”, has been eradicated in the United States of America where it is considered as an invasive species.

Statement 3 is not correct: Northern giant hornets can sting through most beekeeper suits, delivering almost seven times the amount of venom as a honey bee. Moreover, they have the ability to sting multiple times.
