PASSAGE (1)

1. Read the given passage carefully:

According to a legend, the world originated in the Garden of Eden, a place of pristine beauty

and nature’s bounty. Words such as pollution, disaster, poverty, population were unheard of.

Today, we see this pristine Eden being continually ravaged and destroyed.

The root cause of this destruction is that man has forgotten that he did not weave the web of

life and that he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does unto himself.

In the pursuit of industrial development and betterment of the standards of living, man has

shamefully and grossly neglected the fellow members of the biotic world and the

environment in general. A big chunk of responsibility for containing the plague driving our

presently polluted and populous planet towards crisis rests with industries and business.

Three major impacts that industries have had on the world are water contamination, air

pollution and deforestation. All these factors have brought about great ecological imbalance

which in turn is affecting crucial elements such as rainfall and climate and also challenging the

existence of certain plants and animals.

On the basis of your reading of the above passage complete the following sentences. Write

the answers in your answer sheet against the correct blank number.
