Q. 1 Read the following passage and answer the questions on the basis
of comprehension of the passage.
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 concentratior
of green house gases in the atmosphere, of which carbon dioxide is the
most prominent.
