Perhaps the most persuasive evidence that the Apollo missions were faked comes from inconsistencies in the photographs and films taken on the moon. Shadows in many of the pictures are cast not in straight parallel lines as from the Sun but as if they were from a nearby floodlight.

The list Of Apollo inconsistencies goes on and on, and so does NASA's explanations for them.As with most conspiracy theories, it's just a case of who you want to believe. So is there any unquestionable evidence that the Apollo missions really took place, that the most momentous landmark event in human history actually happened? Luckily the answer is in the rocks.

The Apollo missions returned 382 kilograms of rock and there is one thing that is absolutely clear: They are not from Earth. The oldest Apollo rocks, for example, are 4.44billion years old and thus formed some 640 million years before the oldest rocks found on Earth. The great age of the lunar rocks is because the moon, unlike our planet, is geologically dead. There would be no way to fake these rocks. Perhaps then the Apollo samples really aren't Earth rocks at all but some rare meteorite cleverly usedby NASA? However, the oxygen they contain is very different from known meteorites (except those from the moon) and similar to that of the Earth.

Questions 63 to 65 are based on the following passage:

Social change is more likely to occur in heterogeneous societies than in homogeneous ones,simply because there are more diverse points of view available in the former. There are more ideas,more conflicts of interest, and more groups and organizations of different persuasions. In addition,there is usually a greater worldly interest and tolerance in heterogeneous societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision rather than subjecting them to authority. In a quite homogeneous society, there are fewer occasions for people to perceive the need or the opportunity for change, because everything seems to be the same and, if not satisfactory, at least customary and undisputed.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic, less emotional, or less sacred aspects of society than in their opposites, like religion or a system of prestige; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements congenial to the culture rather than in strange elements.
