Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for Static General Knowledge

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Avinash Sable won silver in steeplechase at 2022 CWG; actually Avinash Sable won silver, not bronze. I need accuracy: He won silver. So question faulty. Instead, 'Avinash Sable won silver in 3000m steeplechase at 2022 CWG' but I need bronze. Let's choose another: 'Which Indian athlete won a bronze in men's long jump at 2022 CWG?' Murali Sreeshankar won silver, not bronze. Let's pick a correct one: 'Who won bronze in women's 10000m race at 2022 CWG?' That was no Indian. Better avoid specific medal color that might be wrong. I'll replace: 'Which Indian athlete won a silver medal in the 3000m steeplechase at the 2022 Commonwealth Games?' Then answer Avinash Sable (correct). I'll change to that, and set option A as Avinash Sable, correct answer A. So I'll adapt.
