NASA's Perseverance rover, which is about the size of a car, landed on Mars in February 2021. It collected its first-ever Martian rock sample on August 6, 2021, not in September 2020. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Perseverance,' but the date in the original question was incorrect and has been corrected in the explanation.

If x, y, and z are in proportion, it means the ratio of x to y is equal to the ratio of y to z, which is expressed as x : y :: y : z. Option B correctly represents this proportion.

Vitamin K is the vitamin responsible for blood clotting, and since it is not listed among the options, the correct choice is 'None of these.' Vitamins A, D, and C do not play a direct role in blood clotting.

To express 1.14 as a percent of 1.9, divide 1.14 by 1.9 and multiply by 100: (1.14 / 1.9) × 100 ≈ 60%. Hence, option A is correct.

In 2019, the IMF approved a loan package for Pakistan under an Extended Fund Facility worth approximately SDR 4.268 billion, which was roughly equivalent to 6 billion USD. This loan was to be disbursed over a 39-month period, with the first installment around 1 billion USD. The figure of 33.2 billion USD mentioned in the original question refers to a broader multi-year financial support context but not the specific 2019 IMF loan amount. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 billion USD (option A).

The phrase 'hardly cared' correctly conveys the meaning that he did not care much about surviving, fitting the sentence contextually and grammatically. The other options do not fit the sentence meaning or structure as well.

Synthetic vinegar is primarily composed of acetic acid, which is the chemical responsible for vinegar's characteristic smell and taste. Therefore, the chemical name of synthetic vinegar is acetic acid.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye condition where distant objects appear blurry. It is directly related to the eyes, making option C correct.

The correct phrase is 'Have you ever been to America?' because 'been to' is used to ask if someone has visited a place at any time in the past. 'Visited' would require 'Have you ever visited America?' but the blank fits best with 'been'.

The phrase 'ready to eat anyone's salt' means being ready to accept hospitality or be a guest, but the correct idiomatic meaning is 'to be someone's guest,' not 'to be one's guest' as option A states. Since none of the options correctly capture the meaning, 'None of these' is the best choice.
