Arrange the following recent International Events of 2024, in a sequence, starting with the earliest and ending with the last:
(A) Donald Trump re-elected President of USA
(B) Bangladesh Government overthrown by revolt
(C) Beginning of Israel-Hamas war
(D) Syrian Government overthrown by revolt
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (C), (B), (A), (D)
Each event is placed by its date:
(C) Beginning of Israel-Hamas war — 7 October 2023, when Hamas attacked southern Israel and Israel declared war and launched its offensive on Gaza.
(B) Bangladesh Government overthrown by revolt — 5 August 2024, when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left for India after weeks of student-led protests; an interim government under Muhammad Yunus took office on 8 August.
(A) Donald Trump re-elected President of USA — 5 November 2024, when he won the presidential election against Kamala Harris; he took office as the 47th President on 20 January 2025.
(D) Syrian Government overthrown by revolt — 8 December 2024, when rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham took Damascus and President Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia.
Note: It seems that there is a mistake in the original NTA paper, which calls all four “recent International Events of 2024”, although the Israel-Hamas war, event (C), began in 2023. The order of the events is unaffected.
