Question 5

Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:

It doesn’t appear to be a matter of surprise that a few states have extreme flood-hit situations and some wait for the monsoons. If this is all because of global warming worldwide, then it is true also to a greater extent. But there is also a reason which generally men fear to express. The reason is explicit, the ignorance about WANT and DESIRE. In a country like India where natural resources are plentiful, the imbalance occurs almost every year. The fact is that requirements are limited for survival but the wishes of mankind are unlimited. The continuous, hasty and unlawful use of every natural resource has brought this misfortune on us. The developed countries are the first culprits for this non-judicious use of the elixir of life and destruction of natural forests and greenbelts. The developing countries have followed the suit; but the monster of pollution and scarcity of other resources is uncontrollable. Though it is beyond control now, there is a silver lining to know one’s own mistakes and have remedies to it. Perhaps that may save all of us.
