Reading Comprehension Test - 1

Read the following passage and answer the question given after it.

In the world of sports, people do not acknowledge women's sports as much as men's sports. This is just one of the many gender inequalities that have manifested as a result of the male-dominated society that we live in, but it has wielded a major influence on the lives of many promising women athletes who had to give up their dreams of success because they were women in a man's world. From the time of early Olympics, the role of women in sports and games was neglected. The end of the 19^th century and beginning of the 20^th century saw the rising interest of women in sports both as participants and spectators.
However, compared to men's participation in sports, women sports are newer. But the world of sports has begun to see how women's sports can be just as interesting and exciting as men's sports can be. Be it at school or at college, the educational societies play an important role in encouraging the women sports. The provision of sporting facilities on an even scale to both women and men shows the new trend. This has seen a rise in the number of women participating in sports. More people want to see women play sports now than in the past because of the better quality of players.

Read the following passage and answer the question given after it.

An earthquake is a tremor of high intensity in the earth's surface caused by the action of the end-genetic forces of the earth. It causes immense damage to life and property of the region if its intensity is measured as being above 7 on the Richter scale. Studies have shown that over 80% of our country's area comes under the moderate and high seismic zones.
In the past, a number of devastating earthquakes have occurred. Earthquakes measuring more than 7 on Richter scale in the sea bed may produce high sea waves called tsunamis. Such tsunamis were caused due to the earthquake near Sumatra coast on 26^th December, 2004, which led to a loss of more than 5 lakh people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. In India, heavy damage to life and property was caused in Andaman-Nicobar islands and Tamil Nadu coast. Severity of the tsunamis was a little minimised along the coasts having wider continental shelves and luxuriant growth of mangrove forests. Since Andaman area lies in the high seismic zone, the recurrence of tsunamis cannot be ruled out if there is a high-intensity earthquake. The need is early warning system, planting of mangroves and building of protection walls.
