What core international principle is most fundamentally challenged by the UN Security Council’s P5 veto power?
💡 Explanation:The permanent members (P5) veto power fundamentally challenges the principle of 'sovereign equality of all member states' enshrined in Article 2 (1) of the UN Charter. The veto grants five states a unique and unequal legal status, allowing them to unilaterally block action supported by the vast majority of members, thus creating an oligarchical decision-making structure for global peace and security.

Which bilateral agreement includes a clause treating an attack on one signatory as an act of aggression against both, similar to NATO’s Article 5?
💡 Explanation:The Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) was signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This pact includes a mutual defense clause, stipulating that an attack on either nation is to be treated as an act of aggression against both, a concept similar to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) charter.

What fundamental biological process was immediately explained by the double-helix model of DNA?
💡 Explanation:The complementary nature of the two strands in the double-helix model (A pairing with T, and C pairing with G) instantly suggested a mechanism—known as semi-conservative replication—by which each strand could serve as a template for accurately copying the genetic material.

What is the primary objective of Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) in civil aviation safety regulations?
💡 Explanation:Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) are regulations designed to mitigate pilot fatigue by setting maximum limits on flight hours and mandatory minimum rest periods. These measures are fundamentally aimed at enhancing overall air safety.

A company increases long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending. What is the most likely financial effect?
💡 Explanation:High Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending, while reducing immediate cash flows (making option A and B incorrect in the short term), is strongly associated with long-term benefits. By establishing a positive reputation with stakeholders and the community, a company can reduce its risk of legal issues, boycotts, and regulatory fines. This reduction in non-financial/business risk translates into a lower overall risk profile, which in turn leads to a lower cost of capital (both equity and debt) and higher firm valuation in the long run.

Which factor allows polymerization, a process with negative entropy change ((Delta S < 0)), to be thermodynamically spontaneous?
💡 Explanation:The criterion for a spontaneous process is a negative change in Gibbs free energy ((Delta G < 0)), according to the equation (Delta G = Delta H - TDelta S). Polymerization is the linking of small monomers into a large polymer chain, which decreases the total number of free molecules, resulting in a negative entropy change ((Delta S < 0)). For the reaction to still be spontaneous ((Delta G < 0)), the enthalpy change ((Delta H)) must be highly negative (exothermic) to overcome the positive term of (-TDelta S), especially at lower temperatures where the spontaneity is often observed.
