Read this question in English
Which of the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?
(a) With more options for food come more risks. · (b) Food processing is the source of all foodborne illnesses. · (c) We should depend on locally produced food only. · (d) Globalization of food production should be curtailed.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) खाद्य के विकल्प अधिक होने के कारण जोखिम अधिक आते हैं।
The passage says the rapid globalization of food production raises consumers' vulnerability because food becomes harder to regulate and trace — 'We have the world on our plates'. Food from everywhere means more choice and, with it, more risk.
- ✓ (a) Food drawn from across the world ('the world on our plates') widens choice, and the passage says this same globalization makes food harder to trace and consumers more vulnerable.
- ✗ (b) Contamination can happen 'at any stage from farm to plate'; processing is not singled out, and 'all' is too sweeping.
- ✗ (c) A prescription the passage never makes; it describes a risk without asking people to eat only local food.
- ✗ (d) The passage notes the risk of globalized food production but does not call for curbing it.
Remember · A corollary is a direct consequence of the passage's claim; drop options that turn a described risk into a policy demand.
