About this paper
Remainder-only publication from the Sir Adnan booklet 'CSS PAK AFFAIRS (2016-24) MCQs' (monster-data pack 'CSS MPT PAST PAPERS'). The booklet prints 100 MCQs with options and marked answers. Full-bank token-similarity matching (49,975 bank questions) plus item-by-item verification found: 46 items already covered by existing bank files, 20 items wrong, unverifiable or imprecise as printed (dropped, never inferred), and 4 internal repeats of items published here. The 30 published items are 27 as printed plus 3 corrected from their own option sets (Q38 Aug 11 speech → Secularism; Q70 PAF establishment → 1947; Q85 first woman party head → Benazir Bhutto). The booklet's '(2016-24)' label is its coverage range, not a claimed exam session, so year is null.

Questions
No. It is a remainder practice set from a Sir Adnan booklet in the monster-data 'CSS MPT PAST PAPERS' pack. The booklet as a whole was gate-failed because most of its items already exist in the question banks; only its verified non-duplicate remainder is published here, labelled as practice.
46 items are already covered by existing bank files (including the FPSC subject set on Pakistan Affairs), 20 items are wrong, unverifiable or imprecise as printed and were dropped rather than rewritten, and 4 items exactly repeat items published in this set. Publishing the rest would duplicate or corrupt the bank.
Three, each corrected to an option the booklet itself prints and flagged in keyFlag: the 11 August 1947 address emphasised equal citizenship (Secularism, not Democracy); the Pakistan Air Force was established in 1947, not 1949; and the first woman to head a major Pakistani party was Benazir Bhutto, not Fatima Jinnah.
Items already in the bank stay there and are cross-linked in the conversion log rather than re-extracted; wrong items are listed in the log with their reasons so they are not re-done.
