Read the passage carefully and answers the following question given below the passage.
In Asia and much of the third world, trees are still destroyed in the old- fashioned way: They are cut down for fuel and cropland. In Europe, there is new and potentially more deadly culprit. The Germans call it ‘Wold sterben’, the dying forest syndrome. But the disease is for more than a German phenomenon. Since it was first observed by German scientific in the autumn of 1980, The mysterious malady has raced across Europe, blighting woods in countries as far apart as Sweden and Italy.Explanations for the epidemic range from a cycle change in the environment to a baffling form of tree cancer. But the most convincing evidence points to air pollution. Indeed, saving the rapidly deteriorating forest of Europe will probably require a two pronged strategy: an offensive campaign that includes the breeding of pollution-immune trees and a defensive scheme that calls for reductions in toxic emissions. But both will require more money than is currently being spent in such measures, as well as total commitment to protecting the environment. Answer the Following question.
1- Is the air pollution the main culprit of destroying European.
2- How the trees of European forest can be saved?
3- A cyclic change in the environment is responsible for deforestation. Are you agree with it?
4- The writer suggests that:
a. It is no longer possible to grow trees in industrialized areas.
b. Pollution-immune trees will absorb toxic emissions.
c. All pollution-prone trees should be destroyed.
d. It is not possible to grow trees that remain unaffected by pollution.
5- The writer’s approach toward the problem of forest devastation is one of:
a. tolerance
b. indifference
c. well thought-out strategy
d. despondency
6- How does forest prevent any disease?
Answers
Answer:
1- Yes
2-Europe will probably require a two pronged strategy: an offensive campaign that includes the breeding of pollution-immune trees and a defensive scheme that calls for reductions in toxic emissions
rest idk
Answer:
1. No, the main culprit for destroying Europe is the ‘Wold sterben’, the dying forest syndrome.
2. The trees in European forests can be saved by two strategies:
- An aggressive campaign involving the cultivation of pollution-resistant trees.
- A defensive strategy involving hazardous emission reductions.
3. Yes.
4. b. Pollution-immune trees will absorb toxic emissions.
5. c. well-thought-out strategy.
6. The trees help us in heat-stroke prevention, cleaner air, better breathing, sounder sleep, stress reduction, disease prevention, depression defense, etc.
Explanation:
1. There is a new and potentially more lethal culprit in Europe. It's known in Germany as 'Wold sterben,' or 'dying forest syndrome.' However, sickness is not just a German phenomenon. The mysterious disease has raced throughout Europe since it was first discovered by German scientists in the autumn of 1980, blighting woods in nations as far apart as Sweden and Italy.
2. Saving Europe's rapidly deteriorating forest will almost certainly necessitate a two-pronged plan: an offensive campaign including the breeding of pollution-resistant trees and a defensive strategy involving toxic emission reductions. However, both will demand more money than is now spent on such initiatives, as well as a thorough commitment to environmental protection.
3. Yes, I agree that a cyclic change in the environment is responsible for deforestation.
4. The correct answer is option b. Pollution-immune trees will absorb toxic emissions.
5. The writer’s approach toward the problem of forest devastation is one of 'well-thought-out strategy.', which is option c.
6. Bioactive chemicals found in forest trees and other plants have the potential to be used as anticancer medications, antiatherogenic substances, and antioxidants. Alkaloids such as reserpine, quinine, quinidine, ipecac, ephedrine, and caffeine, as well as antibacterial and antifertility chemicals, are found in forest species.
