2. sharp decline in the area of food production
3. limitation in the capabilities for sustained supply of food
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a) 1 and 2 only · (b) 3 only · (c) 2 and 3 only · (d) 1, 2 and 3
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) केवल 3
The passage gives two reasons: the quantum and composition of demand have been changing, and countries' capabilities to keep an uninterrupted chain of food supplies have come under strain. Only the second matches a statement; population overgrowth and a fall in food-growing area are never mentioned.
- ✗ 1. The passage speaks of changes in 'the quantum and the composition of demand', not of population overgrowth.
- ✗ 2. A decline in the area under food production is not mentioned.
- ✓ 3. 'The capabilities of individual countries to generate uninterrupted chain of food supplies have come under strain'.
Remember · Match each statement to the passage's exact reasons; a plausible real-world cause the passage does not state is out.
