Consider the following pairs:CountryReason for being in the newsArgentinaWorst economic crisisSudanWar between the country’s regular and paramilitary forcesTurkeyRescinded its membership of NATOHow many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

Argentina is facing its worst economic crisis. Prices in Argentina have surged so dramatically in recent months that the government has multiplied the size of its biggest bank note in circulation by five — to 10,000 pesos, worth about $10. Hence pair 1 is correctly matched.Sudan is suffering one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history after nearly a year of war. Fighting between the army, headed by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, since last April has killed tens of thousands of people, as the threat of famine looms amid international inaction. Hence pair 2 is correctly matched.No, Turkey has not rescinded its membership of NATO. But some countries think Turkey can be a Trojan horse for NATO and block consensus on every decision until NATO members meet his price. Turkey today is a liability. There is no mechanism within NATO to expel a wayward member. In the past, countries withdrew voluntarily. Hence pair 3 is not correctly matched.Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
