Question

0.11 Read the following passage and answer the questions given below -

"Prevention is better than cure', and it is recognized that the only way to get rid of malaria completely is to get rid of mosquitoes which cause it. Malaría is always associated with damp and marshy land. This is not because the land is damp, but because the stagnant water is the breeding place of the mosquito, which begins its life as a larva líving in water. Malaría does not frequently occur in dry desert countries, because mosquitoes cannot breed there. The only way to destroy mosquitoes is to prevent their breeding in stagnant water. This can be done by draíning all ponds and pools, and by keeping them covered in the breeding season with a thin layer of kerosene oil, which by depriving the larval of air, kills them.

(a) Make notes on the contents of the passage and give a title also.
(b) Prepare a summary of the passage.
