Question

Q. 1 Read the following passage and answer the questions on the basis of comprehension

of the passage. (Any ten) (10)

Floods are not new to India and this sub- continent. In recent years the problem has received

much greater attention because it has led to much greater damage than in the past. Even though

information on the impending occurrence of floods is now more accurate and certainly more timely,

often there is very little time to minimize the damage. In the case of India, flooding is very much a

function of the seasonal nature of our rainfall. The monsoons are spread over a short period during

the year and often bring so much volume of rain that it cannot be absorbed by the earth. Flooding

is not confined only to the main rivers of the country, often smaller tributaries and streams can

cause heavy damage as well. One major factor that could lead to a higher severity of flooding in

the future is the danger of climate change. One set of scientists has estimated that the monsoons

could be shorter in duration, but far more intensive. Climate change is the result of human actions

through the increased concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere, of which carbon

dioxide is the most prominent.
