FIA Assistant Director Paper 2012

The correct word is 'Affluence,' which means wealth or abundance of possessions, fitting the context of showing wealth by wearing diamonds and furs. 'Afficiancy' is not a correct English word, 'Accuracy' is unrelated, and 'None of these' is incorrect since option A is correct.

The correct word is 'detracted' because it means to reduce the value or quality of something. The stained tablecloth diminished the appeal of the fine china and lovely flowers, so 'detracted' fits best. 'Attracted' is incorrect as it implies drawing attention positively, 'dirty' is an adjective and does not fit grammatically, and 'None of these' is unnecessary.

Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, a renowned Urdu poet, died on 10 July 2006. The options given are all for September of various years, which are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these), as the exact month of his death is July, not September.

The sentence is incomplete and grammatically incorrect as given. None of the options (Testimony, Hexalogy, Determined) fit logically or grammatically to complete the sentence meaningfully. Therefore, 'None of these' is the correct choice.

Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist political and militant organization, widely recognized as a radical group involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is not Lebanese or American, making option A correct.

In the Islamic call to prayer (Azaan), the phrase "Allah-o-Akbar" (God is the Greatest) is repeated 4 times at the beginning and 3 times at the end, totaling 7 times.

The word 'amorphous' means shapeless or without a definite form, which correctly describes a piece of clay before it is sculpted. The other options are either misspelled or do not fit the context.

Kofi Annan was from Ghana and served as the Secretary-General of the United Nations. He was the first career UN official to be elected to this position, making option B correct.

The word 'Adam' originates from the Syriac language, also known as Suryani, which is a dialect of Aramaic. It is not from Hindi or Synani (which is not a recognized language). Therefore, option C is correct.

The sentence 'The waiter told us about the specials -------------- both the Selman and Turkey dishes sound good to me.' requires a word or punctuation that connects the two independent clauses. None of the options 'Closed', 'Disclosed', or 'Secret' fit grammatically or contextually. The best choice is 'None of these' because the sentence needs a conjunction or punctuation (like a semicolon or 'and') rather than a single word from the given options. Therefore, the correct answer is D (None of these).
