How many people died in the Air India Flight 182 Kanishka bombing?

Show answer

329 people total

The chapter states that Air India Flight 182 Kanishka had 307 passengers and 22 crew members on board, all of whom died. Adding these numbers: 307 passengers + 22 crew = 329 total people who died in this terrorist attack. The option '307 passengers only' is incorrect because it doesn't include the crew members. '350 people total' and '300 people total' are both incorrect numbers that don't match the data provided in the text.

What is the minimum age for getting a legal driving license in India?

Show answer

18 years

The chapter clearly states in the 'Dos' section that you should 'Drive if you have a legal license and have attained the age of 18.' This means 18 years is the minimum legal age for driving in India. 16 years and 17 years are incorrect as they are below the legal driving age. 21 years is also incorrect as it's higher than the required minimum age. The law requires individuals to be at least 18 years old before they can obtain a driving license and legally drive vehicles.
