उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) संरक्षित क्षेत्रों के बीच सुरक्षित वन्य जीव गलियारे, संरक्षण के प्रयत्नों का आवश्यक पहलू है।
Reserves are islands in a sea of people, yet tigers range widely and a third of them live outside reserves. The passage concludes that prey and tigers can disperse only through recognised corridors between protected areas — option (b).
- ✗ (a) The passage offers a remedy — corridors — so it does not call the conflict unresolvable.
- ✓ (b) The last sentence: prey and tigers 'can only disperse if there are recognized corridors of land between protected areas'.
- ✗ (c) The problem is the isolation of existing reserves, not their number; more reserves are never proposed.
- ✗ (d) Management of parks is not discussed; the issue is connectivity between protected areas.
Remember · A passage's closing solution sentence often carries its crucial message; drop options that add remedies it never mentions.
