Factoids for Prelims 2021

Hi,

Ranyo Ashoka, Himalayan nettle, Denisovan - Who would have thought of such random questions?

Creating this thread with the sole purpose of sharing facts that can be relevant for Prelims. While there is always this thought, that there is no end to learning and mugging up facts, but if we observe closely - the options are not very close and elimination is easy. By pooling our resources here, if we give it one reading also, the probability of retaining it on the D day and eliminating options increases exponentially. 

I request the aspirants to actively contribute here and let's hope that we strike gold on 31st ;).

Actually Vision had only 2 subjectwise mocks for Ancient/Culture. One i gave and other is still pending . AnC is achilles heel for me . I mug up and i forget because i am terrible at mugging crude facts and on top of that hate AnC .

Did you also use “event” to decode the answer as the word “event” would not have been appropriate with any of the other options?

No the term event ia appropriate with extiction as well. for eg K-PG event that eliminated large number of species

@MichaelScarn Yes, B is the right answer. These are related to Geomagnetic reversal and species extinction is one of the impact caused by reversal along with Solar storms, Ozone layer destruction, weather catastrophes etc.
