Question

  Topic: Unseen Comprehension

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:

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.

Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) Why do most conflicts happen in poor countries?
(b) What is the best way to check conflicts?
(c) What is meant by ‘the freedom of future generations to live’?
(d) How are we robbing our children of their basic right?
