1. Which department of the Government ministries was given the mandate to pilot a draft population policy?

• A. The department of planning and development
• B. National census
• C. Human rights
• D. Central statistics

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The department of planning and development. In the extract provided, it explicitly mentions that this department was tasked with piloting the population policy. The other choices are incorrect because the National census is primarily responsible for collecting demographic data, Human rights focus on ensuring and protecting human rights, and Central statistics deal with statistical data collection and analysis, none of which directly align with piloting a population policy.

2. Causes of metrorrhagia include:

• A. Cervical carcinoma
• B. Uterine polyp
• C. Cervical endometriosis
• D. Infections like Chlamydia

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Metrorrhagia refers to irregular menstrual bleeding that occurs between periods. Cervical carcinoma, a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, can lead to metrorrhagia. Uterine polyps, which are growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus, can also cause abnormal bleeding. While infections like Chlamydia can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, they are not common causes of metrorrhagia. Cervical endometriosis, although a possible gynecological condition, is not a typical cause of metrorrhagia. Therefore, the correct answer is cervical carcinoma as it is a known cause of metrorrhagia, making the other options incorrect.

3. What phase corresponds with the luteal phase?

• A. Menstrual phase
• B. Follicular phase
• C. Secretory phase
• D. Menstrual phase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The luteal phase corresponds with the secretory phase. During the menstrual cycle, the luteal phase follows ovulation and is characterized by the development of the corpus luteum, secreting progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a potential pregnancy. The other choices, menstrual phase (A), follicular phase (B), and the repeated choice of menstrual phase (D) do not align with the luteal phase and its functions.

4. Which of the following is the most effective method of contraception?

• A. Barrier methods
• B. Hormonal pills
• C. Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
• D. Sterilization

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Sterilization is considered the most effective method of contraception because it permanently prevents pregnancy. Barrier methods, hormonal pills, and IUDs are highly effective as well, but they are reversible methods and may have a higher failure rate compared to sterilization.

5. Which of the following is an example of a viviparous animal?

• A. Goat
• B. Duck
• C. Crocodile
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, goat. Viviparous animals give birth to live young ones instead of laying eggs. Ducks and crocodiles are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs, making them incorrect choices. 'None of the above' is incorrect because goats are a valid example of viviparous animals.
