Psychology QUESTION #9723

Question 3903

In classical conditioning, the weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus is known as:

Spontaneous recovery
Generalization
Discrimination
Extinction✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Extinction in classical conditioning occurs when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), causing the conditioned response (CR) to gradually weaken and disappear. Importantly, extinction does not erase the original learning; spontaneous recovery (re-emergence of the CR after rest) demonstrates the original association is retained in memory.

Tourism & Hospitality Management QUESTION #1634

Question 3904

The Tourism Management course covers 'ethics in tourism management' under contemporary issues. Which of the following scenarios would most directly raise an ethical concern in tourism management?

A hotel raising room rates during high season based on demand
A tour operator marketing a community-based tourism product but directing the majority of revenue to a foreign company rather than the host community✔️
A travel agency offering package tours at competitive prices
A hotel investing in staff training to improve service quality

Correct Answer Logic:

Module 4 of the Tourism Management course covers 'Ethics in Tourism Management' including the heritage enterprise and liveable host communities. The scenario of a foreign company extracting the majority of revenue from a community-based tourism product — denying local economic benefits — raises core ethical issues of equity, responsible tourism, and the principle that tourism should benefit host communities.

English QUESTION #7636

Question 3905

Choose the correctly punctuated sentence:

The meeting is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday October 5th.✔️
The meeting is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday October 5th
The meeting is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday October 5th.

Accounting & Finance QUESTION #6080

Question 3906

Identify the statement that is not correct regarding accounting ledgers and accounts:

Control accounts help identify errors within the sales and purchases ledgers.
Any credit balances remaining in a sales ledger are categorized as trade receivables.✔️
Debit balances found in a purchases ledger are treated as current assets.
Irrecoverable debts are included in the sales ledger control account.

Correct Answer Logic:

Statement B is incorrect because a credit balance in the sales ledger (usually due to overpayment or returns) represents a trade payable (liability), not a receivable. Debit balances in the purchases ledger are current assets (Statement C) and Statement D is correct as write-offs are recorded in the control account.

Hexagonal
Triclinic✔️
Monoclinic
Tetragonal

Correct Answer Logic:

The Triclinic system is the most unsymmetrical crystal system. Its parameters are defined as $a \neq b \neq c$ and $\alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \neq 90^{\circ}$.

Chemistry QUESTION #1073

Question 3908

Which of the following aqueous solutions will exhibit the highest boiling point?

$0.01\text{M}\ \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4$✔️
$0.015\text{M}\ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6$
$0.01\text{M}\ \text{Urea}$
$0.01\text{M}\ \text{KNO}_3$

Correct Answer Logic:

Boiling point elevation $\propto i \times m$ (van't Hoff factor $\times$ molality). Na$_2$SO$_4$: $i=3$, effective molality $=0.03$. Glucose: $i=1$, $=0.015$. Urea: $i=1$, $=0.01$. KNO$_3$: $i=2$, $=0.02$. Highest: $0.01\text{M}\ \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4$ with effective particles $=0.03$.

Electronics Engineering QUESTION #11698

Question 3910

A forward-biased silicon diode under test measures $V_F = 0.3\,\text{V}$ on a DMM diode check. The most likely explanation is:

The diode is a germanium type
The diode is a Schottky barrier diode✔️
The diode is an LED operating in reverse
The diode is internally open-circuited

Correct Answer Logic:

Schottky barrier diodes have a metal-semiconductor junction with a lower forward voltage drop of 0.2–0.4 V compared to silicon p-n junction diodes (~0.6–0.7 V) or germanium diodes (~0.2–0.3 V). Schottky diodes are preferred in high-frequency rectification and protection circuits due to their low $V_F$ and fast switching speed.

Biology Zoology Botany QUESTION #1376

Question 3912

Which of the following is the dominant generation in the life cycle of Pteridophytes?

Sporophyte✔️
Gametophyte
Seedling
Embryo

Correct Answer Logic:

In pteridophytes (ferns and allies), the sporophyte generation (diploid, 2n) is the dominant, independent, and conspicuous phase — the familiar leafy fern plant. The gametophyte (haploid, n) is a small, inconspicuous, short-lived prothallus. This contrasts with bryophytes where the gametophyte is dominant, and represents an evolutionary advancement.

Disaster Management QUESTION #6542

Question 3914

Which governance structure most effectively operationalizes the three-tier disaster management system envisioned in Pakistan's DM Act 2010?

Centralized NDMA decision-making
Decentralized authority with empowered DDMAs, devolved resources, and vertical/horizontal coordination mechanisms✔️
Provincial autonomy without federal coordination
International agency management

Correct Answer Logic:

Sections 4.1 and 4.3 emphasize decentralization with empowered districts, devolved resources, and strong coordination mechanisms. The three-tier system (NDMA-PDMA-DDMA) succeeds when districts have authority and resources while maintaining coordination across levels.

Chemistry QUESTION #7385

Question 3915

The four orbitals 4d, 5p, 5f, and 6p, arranged in order of decreasing energy, give the correct sequence:

5f > 6p > 5p > 4d✔️
6p > 5f > 5p > 4d
6p > 5f > 4d > 5p
5f > 6p > 4d > 5p

Correct Answer Logic:

Using $(n + \ell)$ rule:

5f: $n+\ell = 5+3 = 8$
6p: $n+\ell = 6+1 = 7$
5p: $n+\ell = 5+1 = 6$
4d: $n+\ell = 4+2 = 6$, but lower $n$ so lower energy than 5p

Decreasing energy order: 5f > 6p > 5p > 4d

Economics QUESTION #1693

Question 3917

Classical economics, with its emphasis on the self-regulating nature of markets and the primacy of production capacity, is most accurately categorised as:

Supply-side economics✔️
Demand-side economics
Both supply-side and demand-side economics
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

Classical economics emphasises supply-side factors as the primary determinants of long-run economic output — production capacity, factor markets, Say's Law ('supply creates its own demand'), flexible wages and prices, and market self-correction. It contrasts with Keynesian economics, which is demand-side (aggregate demand drives output and employment in the short run). Classical economists believe markets naturally return to full employment without government intervention.

English QUESTION #2796

Question 3919

Choose the word that BEST COMPLETES the sentence: 'She is looking forward ___ you soon.'

to meet
to meeting✔️
meeting
for meeting

Correct Answer Logic:

'Look forward to' is a fixed phrase (phrasal verb) where 'to' is a preposition, not part of an infinitive. Prepositions are followed by a gerund (verb+ing). So 'to meeting' is correct.
