  "note": "Eleven units aligned to the revised NCP-2023, and the most internally contradictory book in the Punjab reader sequence. A1 stays at 4 - Unit 1 The Saviour of Mankind opens the book and Unit 4 is Hazrat Asma - yet A7 falls to 2, the most balanced volume in the corpus at a ratio of 0.79, the direct effect of placing Hazrat Asma and Women Empowerment through Stories of Entrepreneurship adjacent at units 4 and 5. A5 4 comes from Unit 2, Patriotism, which opens civically and then delivers the entire Nishan-e-Haider roll of honour by name, eleven officers who \"all embraced martyrdom while fighting bravely for their motherland\"; the comprehension, cause-and-effect, fact-versus-opinion and generalisation exercises are all built on the martyrs, and a teacher note instructs linking the award to \"patriotism\" and \"sacrifice\". A2 is 5 on one phrase, \"Quality education is a fundamental human right\" (folio 109); the only other \"citizen\" is a style tip. A6 2, with Kipling framed by critical apparatus. Careful: the native-text file is missing units 1, 4 and 5 entirely, so word-level analysis must use the OCR file too.",
