    What lead to the diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016? - ProProfs

    What lead to the diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016?

    • Nuclear Deal

    • Intervention in refrendum

    • Execution of Nimr al-Nimr

    • Veto in OPEC

    Correct Answer
    A. Execution of Nimr al-Nimr
    Explanation
    The diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016 was primarily caused by the execution of Nimr al-Nimr. Nimr al-Nimr was a prominent Shia cleric in Saudi Arabia who was critical of the Saudi government. His execution sparked outrage among Shia Muslims in Iran, leading to protests and an attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran. In response, Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran, escalating tensions between the two countries. The other options mentioned, such as the Nuclear Deal, intervention in a referendum, and veto in OPEC, are not directly related to the diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016.

    What is the equivalent year for 2016 in the Bengali calendar?

    • 1527

    • 2980

    Correct Answer
    A. 1423
    Explanation
    The Bengali calendar is based on the solar calendar, which is approximately 594 years behind the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, to find the equivalent year in the Bengali calendar, we subtract 594 from 2016, resulting in the year 1422. However, since the Bengali calendar starts from the year 593 of the Gregorian calendar, we add 1 to the result, giving us the equivalent year of 1423.

    • Nagashi 094

    • Tenten 829

    Correct Answer
    A. Heisei 28
    Explanation
    Heisei 28 is the correct answer because the Japanese calendar is based on the reign of the emperor, and Heisei is the current era that started in 1989 with Emperor Akihito. Each year of the Heisei era is counted sequentially, so 2016 corresponds to Heisei 28.

    What is the equivalent of 2016 in the Thai solar calendar? - ProProfs

    What is the equivalent of 2016 in the Thai solar calendar?

    • 1966

    • 2066

    • 2559

    • 538

    Correct Answer
    A. 2559
    Explanation
    The Thai solar calendar, also known as the Thai Buddhist calendar, is based on the Buddhist Era (BE) which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. To find the equivalent year in the Thai solar calendar, we subtract 543 from 2016, resulting in 1473. However, the Thai solar calendar also has a different starting point, so we need to add 543 to 1473, giving us 2016. Therefore, the equivalent of 2016 in the Thai solar calendar is 2559.

    What is the equivalent of the year 2016 in the Discordian calendar?  - ProProfs

    What is the equivalent of the year 2016 in the Discordian calendar? 

    • 8123

    • 1382

    • 3182

    • 2813

    Correct Answer
    A. 3182
    Explanation
    The Discordian calendar is based on the idea that time is a human construct and therefore does not follow a linear progression like the Gregorian calendar. Instead, it follows a 5-season cycle with 73 days each. The year 2016 in the Discordian calendar would be equivalent to the year 3182, as it is the closest match in the Discordian system.
