The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair consists of incorrect statements from the provided list, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i):** "Birth control pills are likely to cause cardiovascular problems." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Birth control pills, also known as contraceptive pills, can have side effects including an increased risk of cardiovascular issues such as blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks. 2. **Statement (ii):** "A woman who substitutes or takes the place of the real mother to nurse the embryo is called surrogate mother." - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. A surrogate mother is indeed a woman who carries and nurtures an embryo for another person or couple who cannot conceive. 3. **Statement (iii):** "Numerous children have been produced by in vitro fertilisation but with some abnormalities." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. In vitro fertilization (IVF) typically results in the birth of one or two children at a time, and while there can be risks of abnormalities, it is not accurate to say that numerous children are produced with abnormalities as a general rule. 4. **Statement (iv):** "Women play a key role in the continuity of the family and human species." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Women are essential for reproduction and nurturing, which is vital for the continuity of families and the human species. 5. **Statement (v):** "Foetal sex determination test should not be banned." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Fetal sex determination tests are often misused, leading to female feticide, and thus should be banned to promote gender equality. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect statements are **(iii)** and **(v)**. Therefore, the pair of incorrect statements consists of statements (iii) and (v). ### Final Answer: The pair of incorrect statements is (iii) and (v). ---
