46 – 50 : Read the passage below and answer
the questions that follow based on your
understanding of the passage :
Despite the difficulties, stabilization of the
world’s population appears to be a necessary
step if the future’s problems are ever to be
solved. Without this, whatever else is done, the
world’s inability to provide enough food seems
inevitable. Up until about 1950, growth in the
world’s food supply came almost entirely from
expanding the amount of land under cultivation.
Since then, it has come increasingly from highenergy
inputs of chemical fertilizers that new
high-yield varieties of crops depend upon, of
pesticides and herbicides, and of fuel to run
_______

tractors and other mechanical equipment,
including irrigation pumps. The source of
almost all this energy is oil, yet, although the
demand for food is projected to rise until at least
the middle of the 21st century, oil supplies are
diminishing and becoming more expensive.
Surely, these trends will continue.
Insufficient food supplies are bound to result
in increased structural violence in the form of
higher death rates in the world’s
“underdeveloped” countries. This surely will
have an impact on the “developed” countries,
with their relatively stable populations and high
living standards. It is hard to imagine how such
countries could exist peacefully side by side
with others experiencing high death rates and
abysmally low living standards. (In 1993, 1.3
billion people lived on less than $ 1 per day
and another 3 billion lived on less than $2 per
day; the situation today is no better.) Already,
the combination of overpopulation and poverty
is causing a rising tide of migration from the
impoverished to the more affluent countries of
Europe and North America, with a consequent
rise of intolerance, antiforeign feeling, and
general social unrest.
46. What becomes necessary if the future’s
problems are to be solved ?
(A) Equitable distribution
(B) Population stabilization
(C) Political stabilization
(D) Environmental protection
47. The major reason for the growth in world
food supply after 1950
(A) High energy fertilizers
(B) Pesticides and herbicides
(C) Fuel to run tractors
(D) All the above
48. Insufficient food supply is one of the
reasons for the structural violence in
(A) Developed countries
(B) Developing countries
(C) Underdeveloped countries
(D) In the whole world
49. A general social unrest results from
(A) Poverty and overpopulation
(B) Migration
(C) High living standards
(D) Low death rates
50. By the middle of 21st century the demand
is going to increase for
(A) Power
(B) Population
(C) Food
(D) Water
