  "account": "UPSC Essentials presents its weekly subject quiz, focusing on International Relations. The quiz aims to assist candidates in revising crucial topics from the static syllabus. For question 1, identify the countries that have signed a defense agreement featuring a crucial \"attack on one, attack on all\" clause, akin to NATO's collective-defence principle. The correct answer is (a) 1 and 4 only, as Turkey, India, Australia, and Pakistan are part of the trilateral defense pact. As for question 2, evaluate the statements about the South China Sea. The correct conclusion is (c) There is only one correct statement, as statement 1 is inaccurate, statement 2 is also incorrect, but statement 3 is accurate. Lastly, for question 3, ascertain the number of accurate statements concerning the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). The correct answer is (a) Only one, as only statement 1 is correct while statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.",
