Corrections and Verification Notes

• Bashar al-Assad is retained only as the answer for the 2022 test date, not as a current office-holder.
• A hen is an omnivore, so “herbivore” was incorrect.
• Pakistan forest coverage and Balochistan area percentages require source/date context.
• The reported title “Sultan-ul-Khair” for Salman al-Farsi could not be reliably verified and has been omitted.
• Questions about “best marble” and continents without deserts depend on definitions/options and should be verified.

Disclaimer: This is not an official ASF paper. Verify incomplete and time-sensitive items from reliable sources.
