PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)
Plans to create two vast ocean sanctuaries in Antarctica
to protect the pristine wilderness failed for a third time,
with Russia and China blocking the bids, delegates at multi-
nation talks said.
The proposals for two huge Marine Protected Areas
were on the table at the Commission for the Conservation
of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) meeting
in Hobart, which brought together 24 countries and the
European Union.
But the 10-day talks ended with the nations unable to
agree to a US-New Zealand proposal for a protected zone
in the Ross Sea and another by Australia, France and the
European Union for a sanctuary off East Antarctica.
"The international community came together in Hobart
to protect key parts of the Antarctic Ocean one of the
last pristine environments in the world yet Russia chose
to stand in the way," said Joshua Reichert, executive vice
president of the US-based Pew Charitable Trusts, which
had a delegate at the talks.
Environmentalists said an ocean wilderness that is
home to 16,000 known species, including whales, seals,
albatrosses, penguins and unique species of fish, was at
stake.
CCAMLR, a treaty tasked with overseeing
conservation and sustainable exploitation of the Antarctic
Ocean, also known as the Southern Ocean, has not yet
made any official comment.
The US-New Zealand bid for a sanctuary in the Ross
Sea, the deep bay on Antarctica's Pacific side, had been
considered the best hope after its size was reduced, with
its no-fish zone to be 1.25 million square kilometres.
The second proposal called for a 1.6-million-sq-km
protected zone off East Antarctica, on the frozen
continent's Indian Ocean side. Their creation would make
the largest marine protection areas in the world.
191. What was the agenda of the meeting in Hobart?
(A) To call a meeting of 24 member countries and the
European Union
(B) To form a body to protect wildlife
(C) To create two vast ocean sanctuaries in Antarctica
(D) None of these
192. What was/were the outcome(s) of the multination
talks?
(A) The nations did not agree to a US-New Zealand
proposal for a protected zone in the Ross Sea.
(B) Australia, France and the European Union wanted
to form a sanctuary off East Antarctica, but there
was no agreement on this.
(C) Russia was not in favour of protecting key parts
of the Antarctic Ocean.
(D) All the above
193. What was the opinion of the environmentalists about
ocean wilderness?
(A) That the Commission for Conservation of
Antarctic Marine Living Resources has
successfully protected the lives of many marine
species.
(B) That an ocean wilderness, which is home to a
large number of known species, was in danger.
(C) Now, species such as whale, seal and albatross
have come under the category of preserved
species.
(D) All the above

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
The GM technology introduced in crops addresses
various stresses that affect growth. Herbicide-tolerant
technology deals with weeds that compete with plants for
sunlight, nutrients and water. Bt technology takes on pests
that affect plant productivity. There are others that address
various climatic stresses like moisture and drought.
The biggest challenge of the 21st century is to provide
better nutrition to a growing population. With India alone
estimated to add close to half-a-billion people by 2050,
farmers will have to grow crops more efficiently, conserve
existing land, improve biodiversity and, most importantly,
integrate smallholders currently holding less than two
hectares into the mainstream of the developmental process.
With 98 per cent of the available agricultural land under
cultivation, more than 80 per cent of the increase in
production will have to come from yield increases. There is
only 5-6 per cent scope for expansion of arable area. We
