Answer 1

Coriolis effect; Working women in France; Mid-Day Meal Scheme; Election manifesto

Explanation:

The rotation of the Earth causes the circulating air to deflected. Instead of circulating in a straight pattern, the air gets deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere in curved paths. This deflection of the air due to rotation is called the Coriolis effect.

Working women were discriminated in France by lower pay and exploitation.

Mid-Day Meal Scheme was introduced on 15 August 1995 with a view to enhancing enrollment, retention and attendance, as well as improving nutritional levels among children.

Election manifesto is a published document containing declaration of the ideology, intentions, views, policies and programmes of a political party.
