About this paper

A Sir Adnan one-liner booklet headed '1000- PMS 2026 GK / ONE-LINER (Origionally PMS SCREENING Syllabus BREAKDOWN)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack (74 pp). This file publishes Q351-400 only, in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations: 45 published, 5 dropped as internal duplicates of items already published from the same booklet (printed Q358 'Scurvy deficiency' = Q247 and printed Q359 'Rickets deficiency' = Q248 in the Q201-250 file, both verbatim; printed Q362 'Iodine deficiency leads to Goiter' = Q313 and printed Q364 'Zinc deficiency affects Growth & immunity' = Q314 in the Q301-350 file, same facts with wording only changed; printed Q383 'Seed germination affected by Water, oxygen & temperature' = Q344 in the Q301-350 file, same fact with wording only changed - all cross-linked, not re-extracted), 0 corrections, 0 keyFlags. No other item in Q351-400 repeats an item already published from the same booklet (checked stem by stem at >=0.8 token similarity against all earlier 1000-booklet files). Q401-1000 remain for later runs; the booklet PDF stays in work/pms-screening/.

No. It is part 8 (Q351-400) of a Sir Adnan 1000 one-liner practice booklet prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? +

Type 1 is autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas; Type 2 is insulin resistance, where body cells respond poorly to insulin.

Which phyla do sponges, jellyfish and earthworms belong to? +

Sponges: Porifera; jellyfish: Cnidaria; earthworm: Annelida; humans: Chordata.

Where did the options come from? +

The source prints question + answer only, no options; the options are authored distractors under the 2026-10-28 single-format decision, so optionsSource is 'authored'.
