are ugly: and nothing can be so beautiful as the blue Mediterranean.
But suppose a Scotsman who loves Scotland should go to Italy. He might find the blue
sea too uninteresting after a while. When he goes home and sees the grey sea again, he
will see the sea as beautiful. We are made in different ways, and grey can be as beautiful
as blue, just as a baby's cry can be sweeter to someone's ears than the best notes of the
greatest singer of all time. Nothing is beautiful or ugly in itself, but thinking makes it so.

5. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (45)
In the 1950s, Central American commercial banana growers were facing the death of
their most lucrative product, the Gros Michel banana, known as Big Mike. And now it's
happening again to Big Mike's successor - the Cavendish. With its easily transported,
thick-skinned and sweet-tasting fruit, the Gros Michel banana plant dominated the
plantations of Central America. United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South
America at the time, mass-producedits bananas in the most , efficient way possible: it
cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and
i .
cultivated them in densely packed fields. Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect
for the spread of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, which attacks the plant's
roots and prevents it from transporting water to the stem and leaves. The TR-l strain of
the fungus was resistant to crop sprays and travelled around on boots or the tyres of
trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region. In an attempt to escape the fungus,
farmers abandoned infected fields, flooded them and then replanted crops somewhere
else, often cutting down rainforest to do so. Their efforts failed. So, instead, they
searched for a variety of banana that the fungus didn't affect. They found the.Cavendish,
as it was called, in the greenhouse of a British duke. It wasn't as well suited to shipping

Contd ... Q. NO.5

as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep consumers happy. Most
importantly, TR-I didn't seem to affect it. In a few years, United Fruit had saved itself
from bankruptcy by filling its plantations with thousands of the new plants, copying the
same monoculture growing conditions Gros Michel had thrived in. While the operation
was a huge success for the Latin American industry, the Cavendish banana itself is far
from safe. In 2014, South East Asia, another major banana producer, exported four
million tons of Cavendish bananas. But, in 2015, its exports had dropped by 46 percent
thanks to a combination of another strain of the fungus, TR-4, and bad weather. Growing
practices in South East Asia haven't helped matters. Growers can't always afford the
expensive lab-based methods to clone plants from shoots without spreading the disease.
Also, they often aren't strict enough about cleaning farm equipment and quarantining
infected fields. As a result, the fungus has spread to Australia, the middle East and
Mozambique - and Latin America, heavily dependent on its monoculture Cavendish
crops, could easily be next. Racing against the inevitable, scientists are working on
solving the problem by genetically modifying the Cavendish with genes from TR-4-
resistant banana species. Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have
successfully grown two kinds of modified plant which have remained resistant for three
years so far. But some experts think this is just a sophisticated version of the same
temporary solution the original Cavendish provided. If the new bananas are planted in the
same monocultures as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel before it, the risk is that
another strain of the disease may rise up to threaten the modified plants too.
Questions:
(a) Why did the Gros Michel banana plant influence the plantations of Central America?
(b) How did the United Fruit save itselffrom bankruptcy?
(c) Why did the South East Asia's Cavendish exports fall in 2015?
(d) What do you think of the solution to genetically modify the Cavendish banana?
