Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every happy home should have a dog. Ours was a happy family, but we missed a dog. Our family comprised of four siblings: the parents and the grandfather. Our grandfather, whom we called Dadaji, was an awesome person—a strict disciplinarian and a bit whimsical.
One fine morning, happiness exploded in our courtyard. Our maid had rescued a puppy from being crushed on the road, and she came straight to our house. He was the cutest puppy we had ever seen. He was not a pedigreed one, but he was intelligent and had playful eyes. His white coat bore dark black tiger stripes. No sooner had he come to our house than he started playing with us as if he had found his old friends. Our maid called him Moti, and it was approved by all instantly.
But there was a catch. Dadaji never liked dogs. Our happiness was doused with the clearly visualised apprehension that Dadaji would throw away the puppy along with the maid from the house. Sensing the problem, our mother devised a cogent argument to convince him of the utility of the puppy. Mother tried to convince Dadaji that the puppy, when he grew up, would protect the house against thieves. Dadaji looked at the puppy in a measured way and derisively commented, “Let’s see,” and reclined on the easy chair with a newspaper in his hands. It was typical of him—every time he would concede somebody's argument, he would recline on his favourite easy chair with a newspaper.
For three months, ours was the happiest family in the world.
But dogs will be dogs. Moti committed a huge mistake. Our dadaji used wooden sandals with leather straps as footwear.
On that fateful night, Moti, with nothing else attracting his attention, smelled something leathery and started chewing the leather straps off the sandals. By morning, the leather straps were reduced to smithereens.
When Dadaji woke up in the morning and lowered his feet to wear the sandals, he was aghast.
The sandals were missing.
In the courtyard, he saw the shocking scene of the total destruction of his sandals. From disbelief to anger, and from anger to rage, within two minutes, Dadaji was a fireball. “Where is Moti?” he shouted, heaving heavily. All of us, including Mom, were looking for cover. Moti, too, realised his mistake and its consequences. He sheepishly sneaked behind the dining table. But his fate had been sealed.

Question:
“On that fateful night...”. Which night is being referred to here?

Option 1: The night when thieves entered the house.

Option 2: The night when Moti disappeared from the house.

Option 3: The night when Moti hid Dadaji’s sandals.

Option 4: The night when Moti chewed the straps off Dadaji’s sandals.

Question : Comprehension:
Wildlife and nature have largely been associated with humans for numerous emotional and social reasons. A simple stroll around the park amidst some birds provides a fresh breath of life and charges our batteries. Apart from a bird feeder in the backyard, we can also take up other active pastimes, such as hiking, hunting, canoeing, or wildlife photography, to relieve our parched nerves. Since prehistoric times, animals have been highly useful to us in providing food, clothing, and a source of income.
Studies indicate that woodpeckers are capable of destroying 90% of codling moth larvae residing under the bark of trees. This shows the significance of wildlife and wildlife habitat for preserving genetic diversity. Hence, places, where agriculture, forests, and fisheries depend on crops or stocks, can ensure that such living resources are enough to withstand the ever-increasing list of threats. Further, in medicine, the development of new drugs and treatments is largely dependent on wildlife and wildlife habitat. Interestingly, most pharmaceutical products are a result of discovering or developing wildlife species, not discoveries made through traditional chemistry principles. Today, most medicinal remedies contain at least one ingredient derived from a wild plant or animal.
Biodiversity is the variety of living beings within an ecosystem or on our planet. It is a measurement of the health of ecosystems. Biodiversity also plays a part in the function of climate. In terrestrial habitats, tropical areas are rich in species, whereas polar areas support lesser species. The conservation of biodiversity is inevitable for the survival of humans. Based on the passage above, choose the correct option for the following questions:

Question:
Wildlife has helped humans in all aspects except?

Option 1: Clothing

Option 2: Development of new medicines

Option 3: Education

Option 4: Providing food

Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
The strain, Tropical Race 4 (TR4), was first identified in Taiwan. and has jumped from Asia to the Middle East and Africa, reaching as far as Latin America. Scientists are describing it as the equivalent of Covid-19 in bananas. As the coronavirus disease outbreak rages on, 'fusarium wilt TR4', a novel fungus strain that has devastated plantations across the globe this year, is setting up new hotspots and threatening output in India, the world's largest producer of bananas. It cripples plantations by first attacking the leaves, which turn yellow from their trailing edges before wilting away. There is no effective remedy yet.
"One could say it is the Covid-19 of the plant world. Hotspots have been found in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which we are trying to contain," said S. Uma, the director of  National Research Centre for Bananas (NRCB), Trichy.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, TR4 is one of the 'the most destructive of all plant diseases'. As with Covid-19, there is no treatment yet. So, scientists recommend biosecurity measures including 'plant quarantine' to slow its spread. The spreading disease has jeopardised the $26 billion global banana trade.

A healthy snack, banana is the world's most globally exported fruit, according to the FAO. That's a reason for worry as the disease is breaching borders through imports.

India produces 27 million tonnes of bananas annually and grows about 100 varieties. TR4 has infected the most commonly sold variety, the one you mostly likely have for breakfast: Grand Nain a curvy yellow fruit. inability to contain TR4 could jolt farm incomes and push up banana prices. One medium banana (126 gms) provides about 110 calories, 0 gram  fat, 1 gram  protein, 28 grams  carbohydrate, 15 grams of sugar (naturally occurring), 3 grams of fibre 450 mg  potassium and trace quantities of vitamin C and B6, according to the Hyderabad-based National Institute of Nutrition.

Most of India's bananas are consumed domestically. Equador, the largest exporter, is currently the epicentre and scientists haven't been able to ascertain how TR4 entered India. Fusarium wilt is not new. It entirely wiped out Gros Michel, the dominant export variety of bananas in 1950s. It was in response to this that a new resistant variety, Grand Nain, came up. That has now fallen to TR4. The challenge is to now identify or develop new resistant varieties. That's the only way to manage it, according to Uma, until an effective agent is found.

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research is advocating a set of measures, known as 'biopriming'. It has asked farmers whose plantations have been affected to abandon them. They must grow rice for a year or two before returning to banana. "That way the chain is broken," said R Selvarajan, a scientist with the NRCB.

Question:
The calorific value of a medium-sized banana is 110 and it is richest in:

Option 1: fibre

Option 2: carbohydrate

Option 3: protein

Option 4: potassium
