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:
