What is the key factor determining a collapsing massive star’s fate: neutron star or black hole?
💡 Explanation:The final fate of a massive star (forming a neutron star or a black hole) is primarily determined by the mass of the compact remnant core <strong>after</strong> the supernova explosion and significant mass loss. If the remnant core's mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) limit (approx. 2.1 to 3.0 solar masses), the internal pressure (neutron degeneracy pressure) is insufficient to resist gravity, leading to the formation of a black hole. If the core mass is below this limit, it stabilizes as a neutron star.

What was the primary effect of abolishing the Concurrent Legislative List in the Constitution of Pakistan?
💡 Explanation:The abolition of the Concurrent Legislative List was a key feature of the 18th Constitutional Amendment (2010). This action transferred 47 subjects from the joint legislative domain of the Federation and Provinces exclusively to the Provinces, a massive act of decentralization which significantly enhanced provincial autonomy and strengthened the federal structure of Pakistan. The 18th Amendment also addressed the Prime Minister's powers and local governments (Article 140A), but the abolition of the Concurrent List is directly responsible for the massive devolution of legislative power.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics fundamentally limits the efficiency of which process?
💡 Explanation:The Second Law of Thermodynamics (specifically the Kelvin-Planck statement) states that it is impossible to construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces no effect other than the extraction of heat from a reservoir and the performance of an equivalent amount of work. This fundamentally limits the maximum possible efficiency (Carnot efficiency) for converting heat energy into mechanical work.

A multi-line comparison that interrupts the action in *The Iliad* or *The Odyssey* is an example of what device?
💡 Explanation:An epic simile (or Homeric simile) is a detailed, extended comparison that is many lines in length and often interrupts the action of an epic poem. It is a key feature of the style of Homer's *The Iliad* and *The Odyssey*.

What is the expected phenotypic ratio of offspring from a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous parents?
💡 Explanation:A monohybrid cross between two heterozygous parents (e.g., Bb x Bb) results in offspring with a genotypic ratio of 1 (BB): 2 (Bb): 1 (bb). Assuming B is dominant, the offspring will exhibit two phenotypes: the dominant trait (BB and Bb) and the recessive trait (bb). This combination yields the classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Which cloud service model offers fundamental computing, storage, and networking resources on-demand?
💡 Explanation:Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the cloud model that provides the fundamental, virtualized computing resources—servers (compute), storage, and networks—over the internet on an on-demand, pay-as-you-go basis. It gives the user the highest level of control over their operating systems and applications, while the cloud provider manages the physical hardware.

What principle legally prevents the US Justice Department from criminally indicting a sitting President?
💡 Explanation:The US Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has issued formal legal opinions that interpret the Constitution as prohibiting the criminal indictment or prosecution of a sitting President. This policy is based on the idea that such actions would unconstitutionally impair the executive branch's ability to perform its duties.

Which dietary component primarily aids in lowering LDL cholesterol by forming a gel in the digestive tract?
💡 Explanation:Soluble fiber, found in foods like oats and beans, dissolves in water to form a viscous gel in the digestive tract. This gel binds to cholesterol and bile acids, preventing their reabsorption and promoting their excretion, which effectively lowers circulating LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber primarily adds bulk and promotes intestinal motility.
