2831. Read the passage and answer the question. About a quarter of the Netherlands lies below sea level. Over many centuries the Dutch built dykes to keep out the sea and then pumped the water out of the enclosed land to create polders: areas of farmland that were once covered by water. Before steam engines were invented, this pumping was done by windmills, which is one reason the windmill became a symbol of the country. Today electric pumps do the work, but the polders must still be drained constantly, or they would slowly flood again. Why did the windmill become a symbol of the Netherlands, according to the passage?

      कWindmills were built to grind grain for export. खWindmills protected the land from strong winds. गWindmills were used to pump water out of the polders. घWindmills were the first steam engines.

2833. Read the passage and answer the question. Angkor Wat, in Cambodia, is one of the largest religious monuments in the world. It was built in the early twelfth century by King Suryavarman II and was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Over the following centuries it gradually became a Buddhist temple, which it remains today. Unlike most temples in the region, it faces west, a direction that some scholars link with death; this has led to the theory that it was also intended as the king's funeral temple. The building is such a strong national symbol that it appears on Cambodia's flag. Why do some scholars think Angkor Wat was also a funeral temple?

      कIt faces west, a direction linked with death. खThe king was buried under the main tower. गIt is larger than any other temple in the region. घIt appears on Cambodia's national flag.

2835. Read the passage and answer the question. Nepal's official calendar, the Bikram Sambat (BS), runs about 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar used in most of the world. Its new year usually falls in mid-April, so the year 2081 BS began in April 2024. The months are based on the movement of the sun, which is why their length varies between 29 and 32 days. Government offices, newspapers and schools in Nepal use Bikram Sambat dates, although the Gregorian calendar is widely used in international business. Why do the months of the Bikram Sambat calendar vary in length?

      कThey are matched to the Gregorian months. खEach government decides their length. गThey are based on the movement of the sun. घThey follow the phases of the moon.

2837. Read the passage and answer the question. In the early nineteenth century, the passenger pigeon may have been the most numerous bird in North America; a single flock could contain hundreds of millions of birds and take hours to pass overhead. Yet by 1914 the species was extinct. The last known passenger pigeon, a female named Martha, died that year at Cincinnati Zoo. Large-scale commercial hunting, together with the clearing of the forests where the birds nested, destroyed the population within a few decades. Why does the writer describe the enormous size of the flocks?

      कto explain why the birds were easy to keep in zoos खto suggest that the species may still survive somewhere गto show that even an extremely common species can be wiped out quickly घto prove that the birds were harmful to farmers

2839. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1935, around one hundred cane toads were brought from Hawaii to Queensland, Australia, in the hope that they would eat beetles that were damaging the sugar cane crops. The plan failed: the beetles lived high up on the cane stalks, where the ground-dwelling toads could not reach them. Worse, the toads had few natural enemies in Australia and bred rapidly. Today there are millions of them across much of northern Australia. Because the toads are poisonous, native animals that try to eat them, such as some snakes and lizards, often die. Which lesson is best illustrated by the passage?

      कSugar cane should not be grown in Australia. खIntroducing a species to a new place can have harmful, unexpected results. गNative snakes and lizards are dangerous to farmers. घToads are the best way to control insect pests.
