About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-liner set headed 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK / ONE-LINER (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. The booklet prints 48 statement + answer rows; 43 are published here in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations, and the 3 distractors per item are authored under Anas's 2026-10-28 single-format decision (optionsSource 'authored'). Five rows were dropped and never inferred: printed Q4 (Fitch upgrade 'All of the above' with no options printed), Q10 (disease 'expected to increase by 80% in 2040' — no identifiable standard answer), Q16 (EU '€1.6 million aid' — figure and region unverifiable), Q20 (ISPAD 2025 conference in Pakistan — unverifiable as printed) and Q47 (lifetime-immunity bill — country unidentifiable). Seventeen booklet answers are corrected to the standard answer and flagged in keyFlag, most of them stale 'current' office-holders (interior minister, Punjab governor, Syria president, Balochistan chief minister, US vice president, Iran president, UN permanent representative, ICJ president, chief justice, planning minister, hockey top scorer's country) plus the two budget outlays, the RSF amount, the Champions Trophy winner, the 2025-26 growth target and Turkey's abolished premiership. Three items carry NOTE flags (Wikipedia co-founder, the GDP figure's reference year, Fatah-II also used).

Source & verification
Built by GK360 from verified bank questions — every answer rechecked before publishing. Where the source printed no options, the answer options were prepared by GK360; the questions and correct answers are the verified originals.
Questions
No. It is a Sir Adnan one-liner practice set headed 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK', prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.
Five rows were dropped and never inferred: Q4 ('All of the above' with no options printed), Q10 (a disease 'expected to increase by 80% in 2040' with no identifiable standard answer), Q16 (an unverifiable €1.6 million EU aid figure), Q20 (an unverifiable ISPAD 2025 conference in Pakistan) and Q47 (a lifetime-immunity bill whose country cannot be identified).
This booklet's 'current' items were written in early 2025 and are stale by late 2026: seventeen answers are corrected to the standard answer and flagged in keyFlag, including eleven changed office-holders (interior minister, Punjab governor, Syria president, Balochistan chief minister, US vice president, Iran president, UN permanent representative, ICJ president, chief justice, planning minister and the hockey top scorer's country), the two budget outlays, the RSF amount, the Champions Trophy winner, the growth target and Turkey's abolished premiership.
The source prints statement + answer only, with no options. Under Anas's 2026-10-28 single-format decision, each item is published in the standard MCQ format with 3 authored plausible distractors; optionsSource is recorded as 'authored' so authored options are never mistaken for the booklet's.
