Question

Q1) Read the passage carefully and write the correct options. (10M)
We must do all we can to stop conflicts and civil war. Most conflicts happen in poor countries, especially
which are badly governed or where power and wealth are not distributed fairly between different tribal or
religious groups. So, the best way to check fighting is to make a political arrangement in which all groups
have their representatives. The need is to ensure human rights and economic development of all.
The next fundamental freedom is one that is not mentioned in the UN charter. In 1945, the leaders could not
imagine that such a situation would arise. That is the freedom of future generations to live on this planet.
Even now many of us have not understood its importance. We are using up the limited resources for our
present use. We are over using and even wasting them. We are, in fact, robbing our children of their right to
live.
We must preserve our forests, fisheries and wildlife. All of these are collapsing because of our own habit of
consuming or destroying them.
