Which of the following best names: the force that attracts objects toward the center of the Earth?
Difficulty: Medium
About this MCQ
This Medium Science and Inventions MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best names: the force that attracts objects toward the center of the Earth?”
The accepted answer is A. Gravity. Gravity is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following best names: the force that attracts objects toward the center of the Earth” (option A). Option B (“The Wright Brothers”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Gravity. Option C (“Galileo Galilei”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Gravity. Remaining alternatives (Carbon Dioxide) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Gravity is identified. Science and Inventions questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Science and Inventions recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
