@capricornape,yes.
How did you identify it?
@AlexanderSupertramp - I used the simple logic that life 1st started in water. Thereafter amphibians would come, then land animals.
Similarly, for the 2009 question, a more complex being should come at last (i.e. Kangaroo).
I don't know if this will hold true for all questions, but I know that UPSC will not always attack your rote memory but also test your common sense.
Anyone in Noida/Greater Noida willing to study for prep. together, esp. prelims. ( Till lockdown strikes back)
