Name the only country in the world whose population decreased by 79 thousand in 2009.
A
China
B
Japan
C
India
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue
The claim that Japan was the only country whose population decreased by 79 thousand in 2009 is not supported by available data. Multiple countries, especially in Eastern Europe such as Latvia, Lithuania, and others, experienced significant population declines around that period due to low birth rates, high death rates, and emigration. Japan has experienced population decline in recent years, but the specific figure of a 79 thousand decrease in 2009 is not uniquely attributable to Japan, nor was it the only country with such a decline. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these), as none of the listed countries uniquely fits the description for 2009.

Which country was the second biggest economy in the world in 2016 among the given options?
A
France
B
Japan
C
India
D
China
Explanation and memory cue
In 2016, the United States was the world's largest economy with a nominal GDP of approximately $18.6 trillion. China was the second largest economy with a GDP of about $11.2 trillion. Therefore, China did not become the biggest economy in 2016. The question as posed is flawed because the correct answer (United States) is not listed among the options. Among the given options, China was the second largest economy in 2016, but it was not the biggest. The question should be corrected to reflect that the United States was the biggest economy in 2016, or the options should include the United States to be accurate.
