Match the items given in Column A with the most appropriate ones in Column B and rewrite the correct matching pairs:
Column A: Sacculus Birth rate DNA and histones Euro norms Diabetes mellitus Column B: dynamic body balance Hyperglycemia Hypoglycemia Natality static body balance vehicular standards nucleosome
Topic: Matching — balance, population and disorders
Answer
Sacculus — static body balance Birth rate — Natality DNA and histones — Nucleosome Euro norms — Vehicular standards Diabetes mellitus — Hyperglycemia
Column B has SEVEN options for FIVE items, so two are distractors — and both are the OPPOSITE of a correct answer, which is how these are built.
SACCULUS — STATIC balance, the position of the body AT REST. The distractor "dynamic body balance" belongs to the SEMICIRCULAR CANALS. The words decide it: STATIC means still, DYNAMIC means moving. BIRTH RATE — NATALITY. (Death rate would be mortality.) DNA AND HISTONES — NUCLEOSOME, the basic packing unit of a chromosome: DNA wound round a core of histone proteins like thread round a spool. EURO NORMS — VEHICULAR STANDARDS, the emission limits set for motor vehicles to control air pollution. India follows Bharat Stage norms, modelled on them. DIABETES MELLITUS — HYPERGLYCEMIA, raised blood sugar from a lack of insulin. The distractor HYPOGLYCEMIA is LOW blood sugar — the exact reverse. HYPER means high, HYPO means low.
