UPPCS 2022 Pre

Which one of the following pair is NOT correctly matched?

Verified Answer
A. Neoprene - Specialized
B. Aspartame - Synthetic sweetener
C. Oxytocin - Hormone
D. Rayon - Modified starch

Explanation:

Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber, so 'Neoprene - Specialized' (or special rubber) is correctly matched. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, so 'Aspartame - Synthetic sweetener' is correctly matched. Oxytocin is a hormone, so 'Oxytocin - Hormone' is correctly matched. Rayon is a regenerated cellulose fiber, derived from cellulose (a natural polymer), but it is not a 'modified starch'. Starch and cellulose are different polysaccharides. Therefore, 'Rayon - Modified starch' is NOT correctly matched.
