true

Explanation:

Question 58

Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, not a virus. So the statement is false.

Smallpox was officially declared eradicated in 1980, though the last natural case was in 1977. But the statement says it was declared eradicated in 1977, which is incorrect. Wait, correction: The last natural case of smallpox was in 1977, and in 1980, the WHO declared it eradicated. But the question states "declared eradicated in 1977" which is false? Wait no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the global smallpox eradication program: the last known natural case was in Somalia in 1977, and in 1980, the World Health Assembly declared smallpox eradicated. So the statement "Small pox is the first disease to be declared eradicated in 1977" is false? Wait no, maybe the question's wording: if it's about the declaration, then 1980, but if it's about the last case, 1977. But the question says "declared eradicated in 1977" – that's false. Wait, but some sources might say that the process led to declaration in 1980. So the answer would be False? Wait no, wait: actually, the first disease to be eradicated, smallpox, the global eradication was certified in 1980. So the statement "in 1977" is incorrect. So the answer is False? Wait, no, maybe the question is considering that the last case was in 1977 and the declaration was later. So the statement as written is false. But wait, maybe I'm wrong. Wait, let's check: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared smallpox eradicated in 1980. So the statement "Small pox is the first disease to be declared eradicated in 1977" is false. So the correct option is False? Wait, but maybe the question has a typo, and "1977" refers to the last case. But the question says "declared eradicated in 1977" – so that's false. So the answer is False.
