The question asks what is not possible to do out of the given options. While it is possible to fly, drive, and be advanced in certain skills, it is not possible to sleep on the 30th of February. This is because February only has 28 or 29 days in a leap year, and there is no 30th of February.

Which of the following is an anagram of the word "LISTEN"?
Correct Answer
B. SILENT
Explanation
The correct answer is SILENT. An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. So, “SILENT” is an anagram of “LISTEN” as it uses all the same letters, just arranged in a different order. The other options, “ENLIST”, “TINSEL”, and “SLIENT”, are not correct because they either do not use all the same letters or they are not valid English words.

Is it possible for humans to soar in the sky without the aid of wings or aircraft?
Correct Answer
A. No, they cannot.
Explanation
The correct answer is No, they cannot. Humans are not capable of flying without the aid of wings or aircraft. This is due to a variety of factors including body weight, lack of natural wings, and the force of gravity. While humans have been able to achieve flight through the use of technology such as airplanes and jetpacks, unaided human flight remains impossible. The option “Yes, but only when they’re dreaming” is a humorous take on the question, as humans can indeed “fly” in their dreams, but this is not a physical reality. The last option “Are you sure you’re thinking clearly?” is a playful way to question the absurdity of the premise.
