About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-liner booklet headed 'SUDAN CIVIL WAR 2011-GK / ONE-LINER-200 (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack (13 pp). This file publishes Q101-150 only, in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations: 45 published, 5 dropped. Dropped as wrong or unverifiable as printed, never inferred: Q136 (the Nile crosses the Sudan-Egypt border, it does not form part of it), Q143 (Sudan's Africa GDP ranking of 'about 15th' is not verifiable - it varies by year and measure), Q145 (Bahr el Ghazal lies in South Sudan, not as a Sudanese state north of it), Q147 (no Gedarif River passes through Darfur - Gedaref is in eastern Sudan), Q150 (internal duplicate of Q107, Eritrea to the east). NOTE flags (5, in keyFlag): Q115 (Gash dissipates near Kassala, does not reach the Red Sea), Q121 (Bayuda is north-central, not far northeastern), Q123 (transitional arrangements since 2019; the printed system is the formal textbook description), Q140 (export ranking is year-dependent - crude oil led in 2023, gold has since led in some measures), Q144 (Lake Tana lies wholly in Ethiopia, near the border). Q151-200 remain for later runs; the booklet PDF stays in work/pms-screening/.
