(a) 1 and 2 · (b) 2 and 3 · (c) 1 and 3 · (d) 1 only
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) 1 और 3
The passage names the fuel we burn as the key to clean air and records the Supreme Court's agreement that fiscal measures should keep clean fuel cheaper. It says bans work when people have affordable alternatives — not when will is strong and people are convinced.
- ✓ 1. 'The key source of the battle for clean skies and clear lungs is the fuel we burn'.
- ✗ 2. The passage's lesson from CNG is that 'people need alternatives for a ban to be effective' and they must be affordable; will and conviction are not mentioned.
- ✓ 3. 'The Supreme Court agreed that fiscal measures were needed to keep clean fuel cheaper than dirty fuel.'
Remember · When a statement gives a reason, check it is the passage's reason; a plausible but different reason makes it wrong.
