About this paper
Set 4 (Q151-200) of Sir Adnan's '200-PMS 2026 CURRENT AFFAIRS' booklet from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack: Pakistan & Global Affairs, printed with options and a marked answer (14 pp booklet, 200 MCQs in four sets of 50). This set COMPLETES the booklet: all 200 printed items are now accounted for across Sets 1-4 (34 + 42 + 37 + 23 = 136 published). DROPPED as same-booklet repeats (>=0.8 stem similarity to Sets 1-3, cross-linked not re-extracted): Q154 (largest stadium = Set 2 Q79), Q155 (first female Nobel laureate = Set 1 Q30), Q159 (current Prime Minister = Set 1 Q1, and wrong-premise: Kakar was caretaker PM 2023-24, not a 2025 appointee), Q163 (current Chief of Army Staff = Set 1 Q21), Q164 (main hydroelectric dam = Set 3 Q135), Q169 (first nuclear test = Set 2 Q80), Q173 (largest city by population = Set 2 Q59), Q176 (first woman Prime Minister = Set 2 Q78), Q179 (largest desert = Set 3 Q123), Q180 (main fisheries export = Set 3 Q148), Q185 (main SDG focus = Set 3 Q111), Q186 (major contribution to global peace = Set 3 Q149), Q190 (main UN SDG 2 target = Set 3 Q131), Q192 (first satellite launched in = Set 2 Q60). DROPPED as wrong, ambiguous, stale or unanswerable as printed, never inferred: Q156 (first motorways in the 2000s — the M-2 opened in 1997, so the 1990s, absent from the options, is the correct decade), Q158 (main international airport — Karachi's Jinnah International is the busiest, Islamabad International the largest by area, so no single standard 'main' answer), Q161 (first woman chief justice in 2022 — Justice Tahira Safdar was sworn in on 1 September 2018, absent from the options), Q162 (main tourist attraction in Punjab — Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque and Murree are all defensible), Q166 (first woman in space program as Arfa Karim — Pakistan's first person in space is Namira Salim, 2023, absent from the options), Q171 (main energy source unqualified — gas and oil dominate the overall mix, hydro only the renewable lead), Q178 (current Chief Justice (2025) as Iftikhar Chaudhry — Yahya Afridi has been Chief Justice since October 2024 and is absent), Q182 (first national park in 1964 — Lal Suhanra was declared in 1972, absent from the options), Q189 (main international trade partner as the combined 'China & USA' — China alone is the largest trading partner), Q191 (largest UNESCO heritage site — no single standard measure identifies one site), Q193 (main flood-prone province as the combined 'Sindh & Punjab'), Q194 (main export of fruits as the combined 'Mango & Citrus' — mango and kinnow both lead in different measures), Q196 (current finance minister (2025) as Miftah Ismail — Muhammad Aurangzeb has held the office since March 2024 and is absent). CORRECTION (standard answer, flagged in keyFlag, verified by web search): Q170 first CPEC project completed -> 2017 (booklet marks 2018; the Sahiwal Coal Power Plant's units were completed in May and July 2017). DUPLICATE-OPTION FLAGS: Q151 (Allama Iqbal twice), Q152 (Hockey twice), Q153 (1992 twice), Q157 (Basant twice), Q165 (Mango twice), Q177 (Hina Rabbani Khar twice), Q181 (1960s twice), Q197 (Independence Day twice). NOTE FLAGS: Q152 (hockey is the conventional, not statutory, national sport), Q168 (Digital Pakistan Policy 2017, approved by cabinet in May 2018), Q184 (first woman general framing). Kept below the 0.8 repeat threshold, as distinct wordings: Q160 (first satellite, name) vs Set 2 Q60 (year), Q188 (largest lake) vs Set 3 Q119 (largest freshwater lake), Q195 (main energy project under CPEC) vs Set 3 Q132 (largest energy project under CPEC), Q200 (main sports achievements) vs Set 3 Q127.

Questions
No. It is Set 4 (Q151-200) of Sir Adnan's 200-MCQ current-affairs practice booklet 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. With this set the whole 200-item booklet is accounted for across Sets 1-4.
The policy is the Digital Pakistan Policy 2017, but it was approved by the federal cabinet on 22-23 May 2018. That is why the booklet's Q168 keeps 2017 with a note: 2017 is the policy's own year, 2018 the approval year.
The Sahiwal Coal Power Plant: its first unit was inaugurated in May 2017 and the second unit completed on 3 July 2017, making 2017 — not the booklet's 2018 — the completion year for the first major CPEC energy project.
Lal Suhanra National Park near Bahawalpur, declared on 26 October 1972. That is why the booklet's Q182 was dropped: 1972 is absent from its options and its marked 1964 is wrong.
