FAO's link with food security strengthens which UN goal?
Correct answer: A
The direct answer is option A, human welfare and sustainable development. FAO works on food, agriculture, nutrition, hunger reduction and food security. These areas improve people’s health and living conditions, while sustainable farming protects soil, water and future food supplies. The reasoning is: secure food supports healthy people; healthy people support development; sustainable methods help future generations too. Therefore FAO’s work strengthens the wider development and human-welfare agenda. Option A is correct. Option B, veto power, is a constitutional power of certain members in the Security Council, not FAO’s purpose. Option C, permanent membership, concerns the structure of the Security Council. Option D, court location, concerns an administrative detail of a judicial institution. Memory cue: food security is a development issue, not a power or courtroom issue.

The historical importance of adding Arabic as an official language is linked with what?
Correct answer: A
The direct answer is option A, wider linguistic and regional representation. The United Nations uses official languages so member states can participate in discussion, documents and diplomacy. Arabic was added as an official UN language in 1973, increasing recognition of the Arab region and making the organization more linguistically inclusive. The reasoning is: adding a language allows more people and states to communicate officially; therefore representation becomes broader. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because adding Arabic did not give or enlarge Security Council veto power. Option C is wrong because it did not end the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Option D is wrong because it did not suspend ECOSOC, the Economic and Social Council. Memory cue: a new official language means representation, not a new political power.
