About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-liner set headed 'Mammalian orders and related classifications (GK) / MCQs (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. The booklet prints 50 animal-to-order rows (3 pp, no options); 49 are published here in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations. Printed Q50 (hedgehogs) is an exact internal duplicate of printed Q3 and is dropped, never re-extracted. NOTE flags on the three Insectivora items (hedgehogs, shrews, moles): Insectivora is now obsolete as a formal order and modern classification places these animals in Eulipotyphla, but Insectivora is retained as the booklet's and the one-paper exams' conventional answer.

Questions
