Question #2
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming involves milk production. 2. Poultry farming involves meat and egg production. 3. Apiculture involves silk production. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows, buffaloes, goats) specifically for the long-term production of milk and milk products. Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Apiculture is the scientific rearing and management of honeybees (Apis species) for the production of honey, beeswax, and other hive products; silk production is sericulture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

The fluid that reduces friction during breathing in the pleural cavity is:
A. Cerebrospinal fluid
B. Pleural fluid
C. Lymph
D. Synovial fluid

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The pleural cavity between the visceral and parietal pleura contains a thin layer of pleural fluid, lubricating the surfaces to reduce friction during lung expansion and contraction. Synovial fluid is in joints, cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the CNS, lymph is in the lymphatic system. Pleural effusion is excess accumulation.
