About this MCQ
This Medium General Science and Nature MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best names: the fastest land animal, capable of short bursts of speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour?”
The accepted answer is A. Cheetah. Cheetah is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following best names: the fastest land animal, capable of short bursts of speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour” (option A). Option B (“Jupiter”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Cheetah. Option C (“Human Heart”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Cheetah. Remaining alternatives (Reptiles) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Cheetah is identified. General Science and Nature questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. General Science and Nature recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
