881. Read the passage and answer the question. Traditional Nepali lokta paper is made from the inner bark of the lokta shrub, which grows in Himalayan forests. Because the bark is cut from the plant without pulling up its roots, the shrub grows back within a few years. The paper is strong and resistant to insects, so in the past it was used for important government records and religious texts. According to the passage, why does making lokta paper not destroy the shrub?

     कOnly the bark is cut, and the plant grows back खThe shrub is grown in factories गOnly fallen leaves are used घThe government replants the shrubs every year

882. Read the passage and answer the question. In many rural parts of Nepal, families have built small biogas plants. Animal dung and water are mixed and put into an underground tank, where bacteria break down the waste and release methane gas.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of biogas plants?

     कLess time spent collecting firewood खCleaner air in the kitchen गFertiliser for the fields घElectricity for lighting the house
