Question 1
Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
It is an age-old maxim that nature is our mother and if it is to be commanded, it must be obeyed. Nature binds truth, virtue, and happiness together as by insoluble chain but man’s ignorance of this immortal nature is the only source of his unhappiness. Ever since his appearance, man is using the priceless gifts of nature without restraint. He has rather taken them for granted. Seldom did he pay attention to the fact that the supplies of air, water, and food and the industrial raw materials that he extracted from the bowels of the earth might disappear one day. Nature has been suffering because of thoughtless human intervention and its recycling process for hundreds of years.
The relationship between man and nature reflects profound changes in the wake of modern scientific and technological advancement. And here lies the concern for the entire human race. They say it true that we have not inherited this earth from our ancestors but have borrowed it from our children. We are obliged to preserve nature for the benefit of the future generation, which according to Charles Darwin ‘endless forms of the most beautiful and most wonderful’. But if we introspect, what is man doing to this Mother Nature today? The forests are being ________(A)________ mercilessly to satisfy the needs of the teeming millions. With deforestation, the surroundings are also becoming concrete jungles. Moreover, the protective ozone layer is being depleted which is going to affect more than half of the world population. So desperate are we to enjoy our today that tomorrow does not seem all that important.
What is worse is that we have criminalized society. The violence we unleashed on nature has left its brutal scars on us as well. No doubt we are polluting our nature on an unprecedented scale and wrecking it in a way that makes regeneration impossible. As a result, the marvelous creatures and plants dependant on rich nature is limping towards extinction amidst man’s cruelty. The progress of civilization is to be measured in proportion to man’s success in meeting the challenges of nature. But the developments in the fields of industry and technology – the hallmarks of his material progress and prosperity are certainly a mixed blessing. Their side effects are gradually affecting the environment which in turn endangers the very existence. So we are at a stage not of mutual existence but of mutual annihilation.
It is now that man has realized that he has to work with nature and that he will never tolerate the rape of mother earth. He is bringing about industrial progress with the aim of making the world a better, beautiful, and more comfortable place to live in. Man has understood that nature and its resources are vast but finite. If the present trends continue going on unchecked, the future of life on earth will be endangered. Nature’s gifts are to be conserved. Let us all make a joint venture to make nature as pure as before and try to maintain the immortal relationship of mother and son between nature and man. Let the rivers not burn. Let the fish not rot on the shores. Let the trees not be our ghosts! Let the cities not be choked with polluted and foul-smelling air! Let us all join hands and let all take a pledge to arise, awake, and stop not till the goal of saving Mother Nature is achieved.

It is an age-old maxim that nature is our mother and if it is to be commanded, it must be obeyed. Nature binds truth, virtue, and happiness together as by insoluble chain but man’s ignorance of this immortal nature is the only source of his unhappiness. Ever since his appearance, man is using the priceless gifts of nature without restraint. He has rather taken them for granted. Seldom did he pay attention to the fact that the supplies of air, water, and food and the industrial raw materials that he extracted from the bowels of the earth might disappear one day. Nature has been suffering because of thoughtless human intervention and its recycling process for hundreds of years.
The relationship between man and nature reflects profound changes in the wake of modern scientific and technological advancement. And here lies the concern for the entire human race. They say it true that we have not inherited this earth from our ancestors but have borrowed it from our children. We are obliged to preserve nature for the benefit of the future generation, which according to Charles Darwin ‘endless forms of the most beautiful and most wonderful’. But if we introspect, what is man doing to this Mother Nature today? The forests are being ________(A)________ mercilessly to satisfy the needs of the teeming millions. With deforestation, the surroundings are also becoming concrete jungles. Moreover, the protective ozone layer is being depleted which is going to affect more than half of the world population. So desperate are we to enjoy our today that tomorrow does not seem all that important.
What is worse is that we have criminalized society. The violence we unleashed on nature has left its brutal scars on us as well. No doubt we are polluting our nature on an unprecedented scale and wrecking it in a way that makes regeneration impossible. As a result, the marvelous creatures and plants dependant on rich nature is limping towards extinction amidst man’s cruelty. The progress of civilization is to be measured in proportion to man’s success in meeting the challenges of nature. But the developments in the fields of industry and technology – the hallmarks of his material progress and prosperity are certainly a mixed blessing. Their side effects are gradually affecting the environment which in turn endangers the very existence. So we are at a stage not of mutual existence but of mutual annihilation.
It is now that man has realized that he has to work with nature and that he will never tolerate the rape of mother earth. He is bringing about industrial progress with the aim of making the world a better, beautiful, and more comfortable place to live in. Man has understood that nature and its resources are vast but finite. If the present trends continue going on unchecked, the future of life on earth will be endangered. Nature’s gifts are to be conserved. Let us all make a joint venture to make nature as pure as before and try to maintain the immortal relationship of mother and son between nature and man. Let the rivers not burn. Let the fish not rot on the shores. Let the trees not be our ghosts! Let the cities not be choked with polluted and foul-smelling air! Let us all join hands and let all take a pledge to arise, awake, and stop not till the goal of saving Mother Nature is achieved.
