101. Which statement correctly matches the idea of an ideal contraceptive?
ⓐ. It should interfere with sexual act to ensure discipline.
ⓑ. It should be effective but need not be reversible.
ⓒ. It should be easily available and should not interfere with sexual drive.
ⓓ. It should be difficult to obtain so that misuse is prevented.
Correct Answer: It should be easily available and should not interfere with sexual drive.
Explanation: Availability and non-interference with normal sexual life are important parts of an ideal contraceptive. The chapter does not support the idea that a good method should be inconvenient or disruptive. A useful contraceptive should fit ordinary life while remaining effective and safe. That is why ease and acceptability are emphasized.
102. A newly married couple wants to delay pregnancy for some time but also wishes to have children later. Which feature of a contraceptive is most important for them?
ⓐ. Permanent action
ⓑ. Reversibility
ⓒ. High cost
ⓓ. Surgical complexity
Correct Answer: Reversibility
Explanation: When a couple wants to postpone pregnancy rather than prevent it permanently, the method chosen should be reversible. This allows fertility to return when they decide to have children. The chapter includes reversibility among the major desirable features of an ideal contraceptive. So this feature is especially important in temporary family planning.
103. Which sequence correctly shows the broad contraceptive categories discussed in the chapter?
ⓐ. Natural/traditional, barrier, IUDs, oral pills, injectables/implants, surgical methods
ⓑ. Surgical, oral pills, barrier, natural, infertility treatment, IUDs
ⓒ. Barrier, infertility treatment, hormonal therapy, surgery, antibiotics, IUDs
ⓓ. Oral pills, vaccination, natural, post-natal care, surgery, diagnosis
Correct Answer: Natural/traditional, barrier, IUDs, oral pills, injectables/implants, surgical methods
Explanation: The chapter presents the contraceptive methods in a clear broad classification. It begins with natural or traditional methods and then includes barrier methods, IUDs, hormonal pills, injectables or implants, and surgical approaches. This arrangement helps students understand contraception as a set of major categories. The other options mix in topics that are not contraceptive categories.
104. Which of the following is NOT listed as a major contraceptive category in the chapter?
ⓐ. Barrier methods
ⓑ. Intra-uterine devices
ⓒ. Oral contraceptives
ⓓ. Vaccination methods
Correct Answer: Vaccination methods
Explanation: The chapter classifies contraceptives into natural or traditional methods, barrier methods, IUDs, oral contraceptives, injectables or implants, and surgical methods. Vaccination methods are not included in this classification. This makes the incorrect option easy to identify when the standard categories are remembered clearly. The question tests classification rather than mechanism.
105. Which broad contraceptive category is based on preventing the meeting of sperm and ovum without using devices, hormones, or surgery?
ⓐ. Barrier methods
ⓑ. Surgical methods
ⓒ. Natural or traditional methods
ⓓ. Intra-uterine devices
Correct Answer: Natural or traditional methods
Explanation: Natural or traditional methods work by avoiding fertilisation through timing or behavioural means rather than by using instruments, medicines, or operations. The main principle is to prevent sperm and ovum from meeting. This category is treated separately from barrier methods and medical interventions. It forms the earliest group in the contraceptive classification.
106. Which pair is correctly matched?
ⓐ. Barrier methods — physical prevention of sperm entry
ⓑ. Oral pills — terminal irreversible methods
ⓒ. Surgical methods — temporary spacing only
ⓓ. Natural methods — devices inserted into the uterus
Correct Answer: Barrier methods — physical prevention of sperm entry
Explanation: Barrier methods act by physically preventing sperm from entering the female reproductive tract or reaching the ovum. The other pairs mismatch the category with the wrong description. Oral pills are not terminal methods, surgical methods are not mainly temporary spacing tools, and natural methods do not involve uterine devices. This makes the correct match conceptually clear.
107. Which feature would make a contraceptive less suitable as an ideal method?
ⓐ. Easy availability
ⓑ. Reversible action
ⓒ. Minimal side-effects
ⓓ. Marked interference with sexual act
Correct Answer: Marked interference with sexual act
Explanation: An ideal contraceptive should not disturb normal sexual behaviour unnecessarily. The chapter specifically mentions that it should not interfere with sexual drive or the sexual act. A method causing such interference becomes less acceptable in regular use. That is why non-interference is considered an important quality.
108. Which statement about contraceptive categories is incorrect?
ⓐ. Barrier methods and IUDs are treated as separate categories.
ⓑ. Contraceptive methods in the chapter are limited only to natural and surgical types.
ⓒ. Oral contraceptives form one of the major categories.
ⓓ. Injectables and implants are included among contraceptive methods.
Correct Answer: Contraceptive methods in the chapter are limited only to natural and surgical types.
Explanation: The chapter provides a broader list than just natural and surgical methods. It also includes barrier methods, IUDs, oral contraceptives, and injectables or implants. Remembering the full classification prevents oversimplification. So the statement limiting contraception to only two categories is incorrect.
109. A contraceptive is highly effective but permanent, making future conception difficult. Which ideal feature does it fail to satisfy?
ⓐ. Availability
ⓑ. User-friendliness
ⓒ. Reversibility
ⓓ. Low side-effects
Correct Answer: Reversibility
Explanation: A permanent method may still be effective, but it does not meet the criterion of reversibility. The chapter lists reversibility as one of the desirable qualities in an ideal contraceptive, especially for those who may want children later. This shows that effectiveness alone is not enough. Suitability also depends on the future needs of the user.
110. Which feature combination would make a contraceptive closer to ideal for widespread voluntary use?
ⓐ. Easy to use, easily available, effective, and reversible
ⓑ. Difficult to obtain, costly, and permanently effective
ⓒ. Highly technical, hospital-based, and irreversible
ⓓ. Painful to use, socially restrictive, and long-acting
Correct Answer: Easy to use, easily available, effective, and reversible
Explanation: A widely acceptable contraceptive should fit ordinary life without creating unnecessary difficulty. The chapter emphasizes that such a method should be user-friendly, accessible, effective, and reversible. These qualities make it more suitable for delaying or spacing pregnancy. Methods lacking these features may be less acceptable even if they work biologically.
111. Which statement best explains why low side-effects are included among the ideal features of a contraceptive?
ⓐ. Because side-effects have no influence on regular use
ⓑ. Because a method is more acceptable when it causes minimal discomfort or harm
ⓒ. Because all contraceptives are required to be completely side-effect free
ⓓ. Because effectiveness depends only on side-effects
Correct Answer: Because a method is more acceptable when it causes minimal discomfort or harm
Explanation: A contraceptive is more likely to be used properly and consistently when it does not create major physical problems. The chapter therefore includes least side-effects as an important feature of an ideal method. This does not mean every method is entirely free from side-effects. It means the preferred method should disturb health as little as possible.
112. Which of the following best belongs to the contraceptive classification rather than to reproductive care support or diagnosis?
ⓐ. Amniocentesis
ⓑ. Post-natal care
ⓒ. Injectables and implants
ⓓ. Infertility treatment
Correct Answer: Injectables and implants
Explanation: Injectables and implants are listed as contraceptive categories in the chapter. The other options belong to diagnosis, maternal care, or treatment of reproductive problems. This question tests whether the student can separate contraception from other reproductive health services. The contraceptive classification includes hormonal and non-hormonal approaches.
113. Which option is the best example of a contraceptive feature that supports normal personal life?
ⓐ. It requires specialist supervision before every use.
ⓑ. It is effective only in hospital settings.
ⓒ. It should be difficult to reverse after one use.
ⓓ. It should not interfere with sexual drive or the sexual act.
Correct Answer: It should not interfere with sexual drive or the sexual act.
Explanation: A method that disturbs normal sexual life too much may be less acceptable for regular use. The chapter specifically includes non-interference with sexual drive or the sexual act among the ideal features of contraception. This point is practical rather than merely medical. It reflects the need for acceptability in real-life use.
114. Which statement correctly describes the basic principle behind natural or traditional contraceptive methods?
ⓐ. They destroy sperm chemically before ejaculation.
ⓑ. They aim to avoid the meeting of sperm and ovum.
ⓒ. They block implantation by releasing hormones into the uterus.
ⓓ. They permanently stop gamete formation.
Correct Answer: They aim to avoid the meeting of sperm and ovum.
Explanation: Natural or traditional methods work by preventing fertilisation without using devices inserted into the body, hormones, or surgery. The common principle is to avoid contact between sperm and ovum. This may be done through timing, withdrawal, or conditions in which ovulation does not occur. So the central idea is prevention of sperm-ovum meeting.
115. Which set includes only natural or traditional contraceptive methods?
ⓐ. Condom, diaphragm, cervical cap
ⓑ. CuT, Multiload 375, Progestasert
ⓒ. Oral pill, injectable, implant
ⓓ. Periodic abstinence, withdrawal, lactational amenorrhea
Correct Answer: Periodic abstinence, withdrawal, lactational amenorrhea
Explanation: These three are the natural or traditional methods named in the chapter. They do not depend on uterine devices, oral hormonal preparations, or surgical procedures. Instead, they work through behaviour or temporary physiological conditions. This grouping helps distinguish natural methods from barrier and medical methods.
116. Which statement is most appropriate about natural contraceptive methods?
ⓐ. They usually have low side-effects but a relatively higher chance of failure.
ⓑ. They are always more effective than surgical methods.
ⓒ. They act mainly by suppressing implantation with hormones.
ⓓ. They provide permanent contraception in most cases.
Correct Answer: They usually have low side-effects but a relatively higher chance of failure.
Explanation: Natural methods are generally less invasive and therefore have fewer direct side-effects. However, they depend heavily on correct timing, self-control, or physiological conditions, which can make failure more likely. The chapter explicitly contrasts their low side-effects with their relatively higher failure rate. This makes them different from many medical or surgical methods.
117. A couple wishes to avoid devices, drugs, and surgery, yet still prevent conception by behavioural means. Which contraceptive group is most suitable?
ⓐ. Intra-uterine devices
ⓑ. Oral contraceptives
ⓒ. Natural or traditional methods
ⓓ. Surgical methods
Correct Answer: Natural or traditional methods
Explanation: Natural or traditional methods are the main contraceptive group that works without devices, hormones, or operations. They rely on timing or behaviour to reduce the chance of fertilisation. This makes them different from barrier methods, hormonal methods, and sterilisation. The chapter places them first in the contraceptive sequence for this reason.
118. Which of the following is NOT a natural or traditional contraceptive method?
ⓐ. Withdrawal
ⓑ. Periodic abstinence
ⓒ. Lactational amenorrhea
ⓓ. Vasectomy
Correct Answer: Vasectomy
Explanation: Vasectomy is a surgical sterilisation method, not a natural or traditional one. In contrast, withdrawal, periodic abstinence, and lactational amenorrhea are included in the natural group. This distinction is important because natural methods avoid surgery and usually rely on behaviour or temporary physiological states. Surgical methods are a separate category altogether.
119. Which option best completes the statement?
Natural methods of contraception mainly depend on timing, behaviour, or temporary physiological ______.
ⓐ. conditions
ⓑ. infections
ⓒ. mutations
ⓓ. surgeries
Correct Answer: conditions
Explanation: The chapter presents natural contraception as a group of methods that rely on behaviour and naturally occurring reproductive situations. These include avoiding intercourse during the fertile period, withdrawal, and lactational amenorrhea. None of these involves surgery or medical instruments. So “conditions” best captures the underlying idea.
120. Why do natural contraceptive methods generally show a higher chance of failure than many other methods?
ⓐ. Because they always produce hormonal imbalance
ⓑ. Because they depend strongly on proper timing, awareness, or self-control
ⓒ. Because they permanently damage reproductive organs
ⓓ. Because they are used only after fertilisation occurs
Correct Answer: Because they depend strongly on proper timing, awareness, or self-control
Explanation: Natural methods often require accurate understanding of the reproductive cycle or careful behavioural control. Any mistake in timing or use can increase the chance of fertilisation. This is why their failure rate is considered relatively higher. The limitation comes mainly from practical dependence on correct use rather than from direct biological harm.
