Civil Engineering Test | QA 005

Friends !

I've appeared again after a long - long break. In fact, my last post came into this blog in last September, 2018. It means I come again after around seven months. The ground reality behind my absence is that I became sick owing to a heart attack. It cannot be said that I'm cured right now. Blocks are still there inside my coronary artery but now I'm in a position to do some work. And it is a necessity for me to do some creative work just to get rid of mental agony.

Hope you will again accept me as you did earlier. 

This time again, as before, I give you 25 questions - but not the answers right now. Answers will be given with next questions or two three days later.

All the best -
