All these questions and answers have been taken from past papers, verified from different sources. If you think the answer was wrong, please support argument with irrefutable evidence. Thank you :sleeping

I found this paper a bit difficult and there were so many things that were not even in syllabus, like if we have a syllabus the why do examiners stray from them? Like look at q3 and 4. Also I had so much problem in finding the relevant content for this subject.

They have taken some question from previous syllabus which they changed in 2016. There were also so many things which indicated a clear cut deviation from syllabus.Now I am worried about this particular subject.

Questions*

TBH, this is happening is so many subjects and the main issue is that the quality of materials on CSS is poor. And lets not forget our education system that is outright pathetic. Too much focus on sciences at schools and really bad social sciences degrees. A lot of people with degree in P ad couldn't solve the paper

I have studied almost four books on the stated subject but I didn't find them satisfactory at all.
