Vaibhav Sen answered
Answer:

The correct answer is A) The way they sneeze.

Explanation:

The following are the reasons why "the way they sneeze" cannot be considered as a similarity between any two members of your family:

• Sneezing is an involuntary reflex of the body, which means that it is beyond an individual's control. It is caused due to irritation or inflammation in the nasal passage or throat, which triggers the release of air from the lungs.

• The way an individual sneezes depends on various factors like the intensity of the irritation, the size of the nasal passage, the amount of mucus, etc. Hence, it is unlikely that two individuals will have the same way of sneezing.

• Therefore, even if two members of your family have similar physical features, speech patterns, or walking styles, they may differ in the way they sneeze.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while the way an individual sneezes is unique to them, it cannot be considered as a similarity between any two members of your family.

Statement I correctly mentions that the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was indeed first developed in 2010 by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Statement II provides an accurate description of how the MPI scores households based on 10 parameters, which include nutrition, child mortality, years of schooling, school attendance, cooking fuel, sanitation, drinking water, electricity, housing, and household assets. Therefore, both statements are correct, and Statement II explains the development and functioning of the Global MPI as mentioned in Statement I.
