Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following information:
Mission Type Country
1. SLIM Solar mission Japan 2. Change-6 Lunar mission China 3. Luna 25 Asteroid mission Russia In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Row 1 is incorrectly matched: The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) is a Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) mission designed to demonstrate accurate lunar landing techniques by a small explorer, with the objective of acceleration of the study of the Moon and planets using lighter exploration systems. SLIM launched on 6 September 2023 and landed on the Moon on 19 January 2024
- Row 2 is correctly matched: China’s Chang’e-6 became the first spacecraft to bring back samples from the far side of the Moon. The lander descended on the Moon’s surface on June 1 and spent two days collecting rocks and soil from the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin (one of the oldest and largest lunar craters) using a robotic arm and drill. The lander then launched an ascent module that transferred the samples to the Chang’e-6 orbiter.
- Row 3 is incorrectly matched: Luna 25, also designated the Luna-Glob-Lander, is a Russian lunar lander mission that launched on 10 August 2023. It was targeted to the south polar region of the Moon. There are two primary scientific objectives of the mission: to study composition of the polar regolith, and to study the plasma and dust components of the lunar polar exosphere. Communications were lost on August 19 and the lander reportedly crashed on the surface.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to Claude 3.5 recently seen in news:
- It is a large language model Artificial Intelligence that excels in arithmetic and reasoning.
- It can accurately transcribe text from imperfect images.
- The model lacks in understanding nuance and complex instructions.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Anthropic, a major rival of OpenAI, launched Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the first in its upcoming Claude 3.5 AI model series. It is Anthropic’s latest AI model, excelling in arithmetic, reasoning, coding, and multilingual tasks.Claude 3.5 Sonnet operates at twice the speed of Claude 3 Opus. This enhanced performance and cost-effective pricing make it ideal for complex tasks like context-sensitive customer support and orchestrating multi-step workflows. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a large language model (LLM) and part of Anthropic’s generative pre-trained transformers.It excels in tasks requiring visual reasoning, like decoding charts and graphs, and can accurately transcribe text from imperfect images.
Statement 3 is incorrect:Claude 3.5 Sonnet has set new industry benchmarks in coding proficiency (HumanEval), graduate-level reasoning (GPQA), and undergraduate-level knowledge (MMLU). The model excels in understanding nuance, humour, and complex instructions. It outperformed GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Meta’s Llama 3 400B in seven out of eight overall benchmarks.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsRecently, the State of Global Air (SoGA) Report 2024 showed that air pollution has become the second leading global risk factor for death. Which of the following organisation releases the report?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
Option (d) is correct: The State of Global Air (SoGA) report is released by the Health Effects Institute (HEI), an independent U.S.-based nonprofit research organisation, in partnership with UNICEF. Report 2024 showed that air pollution has become the second leading global risk factor for death. India reported 2.1 million deaths due to air pollution. India reported the highest number of pollution-linked deaths in children under five, with at least 169,400 deaths in this demographic. Air pollution in India has been a persistent issue, especially noticeable during winter when smog blankets large parts of the country.Children are particularly vulnerable to air pollution due to their higher air intake per kilogram of body weight, developing organs, and weaker defence mechanisms. Exposure to pollutants increases the risk of ailments like asthma, upper respiratory tract infections, childhood leukaemia, and high blood pressure in children. Together, China and India account for over 55% of global air pollution-related deaths in 2021. 489,000 deaths globally were attributable to ozone exposure in 2021. Nearly 50% (237,000) of these ozone-related deaths occurred in India.
