    India is home to a wide variety of unique animal, bird, and fish species. According to a report published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the country boasts of 6.5% of the world’s species. This includes 12.6% of the bird species and 7.6% of all mammals. ______________. Another report published by the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC), shows that poaching, unauthorized logging of trees, and uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources are some of the various factors that have contributed to the rise of endangered species in India. It is very important to save the animals that are close to extinction such as the Bengal tiger, Indian elephant, Tibetan antelope, Indian rhino, and Indian lion.

    Solution

    The clue to the missing sentence can be found in the subsequent sentences, which talks about the various factors which have contributed to the rise of endangered species in India.

    As the previous sentence is about the large variety of species in India, the missing sentence would introduce the reason why the wildlife is endangered.

    So, option (C) fits the best, and it also begins with ‘however’ which means that despite India having many of the world’s species, the illicit trade has caused many animals to come close to extinction.

    The idea of sustainable development grew from numerous environmental movements in the earlier decades and was defined in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It was defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ____________. It contributed to the understanding that sustainable development encompasses a number of areas and highlights sustainability as the idea of environmental, economic and social progress and equity, all within the limits of the world’s natural resources.

    Solution

    The previous sentence defines sustainable development and the next sentence also talks about the definition, so the missing sentence would be about the definition. Among all the options, only option (D) is about the definition.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Directions: In the following question, one sentence is given in which certain words are in bold and numbered from A to E. Below the sentence are given five options with possible pairs of interchange of those bold words. Choose the pair(s) of words which are needed to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

    The (A)growth for connected consumers’ devices in 2020 will be (B)masses by cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity to consumer electronics for mass markets making (C)several ‘luxury’ products (D)available to the (E)driven during the year.

    Solution

    We can look into the sentence the following way:

    The (A)_______ for connected consumers’ devices in 2020 will be (B)_______ by cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity to consumer electronics for mass markets making (C)_______ ‘luxury’ products (D)_______ to the (E)_______ during the year.

    It is clear that (A) and (C) has grammatically and meaningfully correct words. Also (D) justifies its bold word.

    But from the point of view of grammar, (B) should be a verb and (E) should be a plural noun.

    Driven is a verb meaning "(of a device) powered or operated (another device)."

    Masses means "the ordinary people."

    So, (B) and (E) should be interchanged.

    Correct sentence: The (A)growth for connected consumers’ devices in 2020 will be (B)driven by cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity to consumer electronics for mass markets making (C)several ‘luxury’ products (D)available to (E)masses during the year.
