Explanation: The Montreal Protocol, signed in 1987, is an international agreement aimed at protecting the ozone layer by phasing out the production and use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. It is one of the most successful environmental treaties in history.

Explanation: AIDS, Hepatitis, and Typhoid fever are all diseases that can be spread by human beings. While AIDS and Hepatitis are viral diseases and Typhoid is a bacterial disease, all three are transmitted through contact with infected individuals or their body fluids, making human-to-human transmission common.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to land on the Moon on July 20, 1969, during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. He became the first human to step onto the lunar surface, famously saying, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." His historic achievement marked a major milestone in space exploration.

Other options (for context)

• Aldrin: Refers to Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, who accompanied Armstrong on Apollo 11.
• Michael Collins: The third member of the Apollo 11 crew, who orbited the Moon in the command module but did not land.
• Gagarin: Refers to Yuri Gagarin, the first human to travel into space in 1961, but he never landed on the Moon.

Explanation: Inside a sealed pressure cooker, the pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure, which raises the boiling point of water to about 121℃. This allows food to cook faster because water and steam reach higher temperatures than at normal atmospheric pressure.

Explanation: Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) predominantly contains methane (CH₄) in liquid form. It is produced by cooling natural gas to about −162°C, which reduces its volume for easier storage and transportation. LNG is a clean fuel with high energy efficiency and low emissions.

Explanation: The thyroid gland is located in the neck region, just below the larynx (voice box) and in front of the trachea (windpipe). It is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland that secretes the hormones thyroxine (T₄) and triiodothyronine (T₃). These hormones regulate metabolism, growth, and energy production in the body. The thyroid also produces calcitonin, which helps control calcium levels in the blood. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

Explanation: Angora wool is obtained from the Angora rabbit, a special breed reared mainly for its soft, silky, and warm fur. The wool fibers are extremely fine and have a high insulating property, making them ideal for luxury clothing. It is different from Mohair (from Angora goat) and Cashmere (from Kashmiri goat).

Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel in 1867. He was a Swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist who discovered that nitroglycerin could be stabilized by mixing it with an absorbent material like diatomaceous earth, making it safer to handle and transport. This invention revolutionized the mining and construction industries. In his later years, Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes using the wealth he accumulated from his inventions.

Other options (for context)

• J. B. Dunlop: Invented the pneumatic rubber tyre.
• James Simons: A mathematician and hedge fund manager, not an inventor.
• Peter Hargreaves: Not related to any major scientific invention; possibly confused with James Hargreaves, who invented the Spinning Jenny.
