Question

The expression, 'This the ecologists say, is conducive to the growth of all species', implies that ______________.

• A. all species cannot grow
  
• B. all species are likely to grow
  
• C. the growth of some species is likely to be hampered
• D. there is a remote possibility that all species will grow

Answer 1

The correct option is B

all species are likely to grow

Option B: 'Conducive' means 'tending to produce', 'favourable'. As it's mentioned in the passage, " If they are at peace with one another and their surroundings...This the ecologists say, is conducive to the growth of all species."

The state of peace is favourable for all species to grow.

The same is mentioned in option B, hence it's correct.

Options A, C and D: These lines are neither mentioned nor implied by the passage.

Hence these options are wrong.
