Question

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

We should preserve nature to preserve life and beauty. A beautiful landscape, full of green vegetation, will not just attract our attention but will fill us with infinite satisfaction. Unfortunately, because of modernization, much of nature is now yielding to towns, roads and industrial areas In a few places, some natural reserves are now being carved out to avert the danger of destroying nature completely. Man will perish without nature, so modern man should continue this struggle to save plants, which give us oxygen, from extinction. Moreover, nature is essential to man's health.

What does "Nature" in the passage mean?

• A. Countryside covered with plants and trees
• B. Physical power that created the world
• C. Inherent things that determine character
• D. Practical study of plants and animals

Answer 1

The correct option is A Countryside covered with plants and trees

The statement of option A, countryside covered with plants and trees, is correct. The passage suggests the destruction of landscape, trees and natural reserves being destroyed for the rampant urbanization that the humans have undertaken. This is the "nature" that the passage talks about. The statements of options B,C and D are irrelevant in this context, and thus, are incorrect.
