Questions
No. It is a Sir Adnan fact-sheet practice set on UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Pakistan, 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.
Six, all cultural: Mohenjo-daro (1980), Taxila (1980), Takht-i-Bahi and Sahr-i-Bahlol (1980), Fort and Shalamar Gardens in Lahore (1981), Historical Monuments at Makli (1981) and Rohtas Fort (1997). Pakistan has no natural World Heritage Site yet.
Badshahi Mosque (Lahore), Shah Jahan Mosque (Thatta), Karez System (Balochistan), Deosai National Park, Hingol Cultural Landscape, Baltit Fort and Ranikot Fort — tentative listing means nominated for possible future inscription, not yet inscribed.
The booklet pairs 'Baltit Fort & Shigar Fort' in one bullet, but UNESCO's tentative list carries Baltit Fort (2004) as the entry; Shigar Fort is not a separate tentative-list entry, so only Baltit Fort is published as the tentative-list answer, with the point flagged in the file.
