Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements about the Transfat
- Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that can occur naturally in small amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminant animals.
- Artificial trans fats are primarily formed through a process called partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils, which makes them more solid and increases their shelf life.
- Consumption of trans fats, especially artificial ones, has been linked to an increase in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and a decrease in HDL (“good”) cholesterol, raising the risk of heart disease.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 correct correct Incorrect - Small amounts of natural trans fats are found in the meat and dairy products of ruminant animals (like cows and sheep).
- Artificial trans fats (also known as industrial trans fats) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid and increase their shelf life and flavor stability.
- Numerous studies have shown that consuming artificial trans fats significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease by raising low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and lowering high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Context:OPEC+ is increasing oil output to punish overproducing members and target U.S. shale production, aiming to regain market share from the U.S. After a failed price war a decade ago.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements about The Golden Dome
- The ‘Golden Dome’ is envisioned as a multi-layered defense system primarily focused on intercepting short-range rockets and artillery shells, similar to Israel’s Iron Dome.
- A key feature of the proposed system involves deploying thousands of space-based interceptors and sensors in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to detect and neutralize threats in their boost phase.
Choose the incorrect statements:
Correct
Solution (a)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect correct - While inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome, the ‘Golden Dome’ is designed to be far more ambitious in scope, targeting a wide spectrum of threats including Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), hypersonic weapons, and cruise missiles, not primarily short-range rockets.
- central and innovative aspect of the ‘Golden Dome’ proposal is the deployment of a vast constellation of space-based sensors and interceptors to detect and potentially neutralize missiles in their earliest “boost phase” of flight.
Context:US President Donald Trump announced a shortlisted design for the Golden Dome.
