Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5 that follows: Climate change will have broad impacts on human society. Changes projected to occur in the coming century or two won't have the apocalyptic, civilization destroying character of, say an all-out nuclear war or a direct hit from a large asteroid. But climate change will be disruptive in many ways to a civilization whose planetary home is already under stress from the demands of billions of human beings. The physical impacts of climate change won't be evenly distributed around the globe. Low-lying coastal regions, for example, will suffer more from sea-level rise; continental interiors will see more drought; and high latitudes will warm disproportionately. For that reason alone, impacts will vary from country to country. But also alter the impact of a changing climate, social, political, and economic considerations. That's because wealthier countries are better able to adapt to and counter deleterious effects. Wealthy countries can build protective seawalls to ward off the rising oceans; they can engineer massive water projects to ensure continuing supplies of fresh water, they can outbid poorer countries if declines in domestic agriculture require increased food imports, their advanced healthcare systems can better cope with spreading tropical diseases; and their robust economies can speed recovery from extreme weather events. We are forced to the unfortunate conclusion that climate change will exacerbate the gap between rich and poor nations, as those with the fewest resources will be the most vulnerable. This conclusion should be especially troubling because anthropogenic climate change is almost entirely the result of fossil fuel consumption, deforestation and other activities carried out by or for the benefit of the developed world. 1.

Climate change will impact the worlda (a) Uniformly (b) The developing world less (c) Disparately (d) The developed world more 4. How will climate change affect the gapbetween the rich and poor countries? (a) It will increase the gap. (b) It will reduce the gap. (c) There will be no change in gap. (d) It will bridge the gap. 5.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: (a) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

उत्तर- (3) व्याख्या-1564 में नरही (दमोह के निकट) नामक स्थल पर हुए युद्ध में आसफ खां ने दुर्गावती को परास्त कर दिया। रानी तीरों से घायल हो गई और बन्दी बनाए जाने व अपमानित किए जाने से छुरा घोंप कर आत्महत्या कर लेना बेहत्तर समझा। इस प्रकार इस देश की एक अप्रतीम वीरांगना ने मृत्यु का वरण किया। आसफ खां आगे बढ़ा तथा राजधानी चौरागढ़ में लड़े गए युद्ध में रानी के पुत्र वीर नारायण को परास्त किया। युद्ध से पूर्व राजपरिवार की स्त्रियों ने जौहर व्रत सम्पन्न किया था। आसफ खां को प्रचुर सम्पत्ति सहित 1 हजार हाथी हाथ लगे। गढ कटंगा को मुगल साम्राज्य में मिला लिया गया तथा दुर्गावती की छोटी बहन कमला देवी को, जो सुरक्षित बच गई थी, शाही हरम में भेज दिया गया। Answer- (3) Explanation- Asaf Khan defeated Durgavati in a battle fought at a place called Narhi (near Damoh) in 1564.
