Anti Corruption Test part1

This test sees if you have basic understanding of facts/principles related to corruption issues. It is currently just begun, a work in progress.
Please feel free to add other Qs, suggestions or comments. 
Or Send me a msg on Twitter @1cpu4rent

The ultimate idea is not to make a Civics test, which there are plenty, it is to make a test that makes people get a particular style of thinking required to catch crooks using legal means or trap them using simple principles.
If you are expert in these matters, please go ahead and make a better version of this.
This will give you an idea of the power of simple question-answer format to create awareness in youth.
