Jupiter is commonly known as the 'Bodyguard of the Earth' because its massive gravitational field acts as a cosmic shield, deflecting, capturing, or ejecting many comets and asteroids that might otherwise collide with Earth.

Antonio Guterres has been the Secretary-General of the United Nations since January 1, 2017, succeeding Ban Ki-moon. Therefore, option A is correct.

The series is a geometric series with first term a = 2 and common ratio r = 1/5. The sum to infinity is a / (1 - r) = 2 / (1 - 1/5) = 2 / (4/5) = 2 * 5/4 = 5/2. However, the terms given are 2 + 2/5 + 2/25 + 2/125 + ..., which matches the ratio 1/5. The sum is 2 / (1 - 1/5) = 2 / (4/5) = 2 * 5/4 = 5/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 5/2, which corresponds to option B. The original correct_answer was B, which is correct. The explanation was missing and has been added. The difficulty is set to easy as this is a basic geometric series sum problem.

The five planets visible to the naked eye without a telescope are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets have been known since ancient times and can be seen as steady points of light that do not twinkle. Uranus is barely visible to the naked eye under very dark skies and excellent eyesight, but it is generally considered not visible without optical aid. Neptune and Pluto are too faint to be seen without a telescope. Therefore, the correct answer is 5, which corresponds to option D.

The correct indirect speech for 'He says, I shall be here' is 'He says that he will be there' because the first-person pronoun 'I' changes to 'he', 'shall' changes to 'will' in reported speech, and 'here' changes to 'there'.
