 Reading Comprehension
Directions (1 – 5): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Earth is home to more than 16,000 species of plants. animals, fungi, and algae that are currently listed as endangered
on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the U.S. alone, nearly 700 species of animals and 900 species of plants
are considered threatened or endangered. Given that human-made threats-such as habitat fragmentation,
overhunting, over-fishing, global warming. invasive species, and pollution-are the major drivers of modern extinctions
and population declines, the preservation and recovery of endangered species depend on human awareness and
intervention.

Endangered Species Day is observed each year on the third Friday of May as a way to both raise awareness of the
continued plight of endangered species and celebrate those that have recovered because of conservation efforts. The
U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 has been credited with the recovery and protection of several prominent
American species, including the bald eagle, the American alligator, and the gray wolf. Globally, many governments.
non-governmental organizations, and grassroot efforts have made great strides to protect our natural heritage, though
the fight to preserve biodiversity is ever ongoing.

1. What is the primary purpose of the passage?

(A) To emphasise on the non- governmental involvement in conserving the endangered animals.
(B) Explain the importance of American alligator.
(C) To explain about the Endangered Species Day.
(D) Explain the reason for extinction of the species and the steps taken to conserve the species.

2. What of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?

(A) In U.S about 700 species of animals are considered endangered
(B) Over-fishing is one of the main reasons for extinction.
(C) Endangered Species Day is observed to raise awareness of the endangered species only.
(D) Earth is home for fungi.

3. Which of the following species was recovered by the help of The U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973?
(A) American alligator (B) The gray wolf
(C) Agelaius xanthomus (D) Both (A) and (B)

4. What is the meaning of the word plight printed in bold?

(A) A difficult and sad situation (B) A thing that helps you to be better
(C) A way of solving a problem (D) A journey made by air

5. Which of the following is / are the human made threat(s)?

(A) Overhunting (B) Habitat fragmentation
(C) Over-fishing (D) All of these

Directions (6–10): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The development of a mine consists of several principal activities: conducting a feasibility study, including a financial
analysis to decide whether to abandon or develop the property: designing the mine; acquiring mining rights; filing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); and preparing the site for production. Preparation could cause environmental
damage by excavation of the deposit to remove overburden (surface material above the ore deposit that is devoid of
ore minerals) prior to mining.

Extraction is the removal of ore from the ground on a large scale by one or more of three principal methods: surface
mining, underground mining, and in situ mining (extraction of ore from a deposit using chemical solutions). After the
ore is removed from the ground, it is crushed so that the valuable mineral in the ore can be separated from the waste
material and concentrated by flotation (a process that separates finely ground minerals from one another by causing
some to float in a froth and others to sink), gravity, magnetism, or other methods, usually at the mine site, to prepare
it for further stages of processing. The production of large amounts of waste material (often very acidic) and particulate
emission have led to major environmental and health concerns with ore extraction and concentration.
