Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier months, thus improving late-summer stream flows.

In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species, including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame.

Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately .

 

Overall the assertions seem to be based on:

A) Rash opinion with little observation behind it. B) Deeply held emotional convictions.
C) Facts derived from scientific literature. D) Inconclusive evidence gathered in field studies.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Inconclusive evidence gathered in field studies.

Set in the glittering balls of genteel rural society of 18th century England and verdant landscape of the idyllic Pemberley, “Pride and Prejudice” is the story of young Elizabeth Bennett whose
property is entailed to the nearest male heir.
What can be said about the position of young Elizabeth Bennett in the rural society of 18th century England?

A) Marginal B) Immaterial
C) Unrelated D) Extraneous
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Immaterial

Explanation:

Marginal means to be of questionable or minimal quality.
Immaterial means to be of no importance or relevance especially to a law case.
Unrelated means lacking a logical or causal relation.
Extraneous means something that is not pertinent to the matter under consideration.
Academic means marked by a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects.
Despite being young, Bennett's property was already entailed to the male heir. This means that she did not have a significant place in the rural society of 18th century England.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
