People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to alleviate animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If vegetarianism is adopted by 2050, it would stave off about 7 million deaths per year, while veganism would knock that estimate up to 8 million, thanks largely to a lessening of coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some cancers. Experts suggest that food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, most of it because of the livestock industry. "But just eating a little less meat right now might make things a whole lot better for our children and grandchildren.” “When looking at what would be in line with avoiding dangerous levels of climate change, we found that you could only stabilise the ratio of food-related emissions to all emissions if everyone adopted a plant-based diet," Springmann, a scientist, says. "That scenario is not very realistic – but it highlights the importance that food-related emissions will play in the future." Research indicates that if everyone became vegetarian by 2050- largely thanks to the elimination of red meat - food-related emissions would drop by about 60%. With veganism instead, emission declines would be around 70%. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would dedicate at least 80% of that pastureland to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change. Of course, people formerly engaged in the livestock industry would also need assistance transitioning to a new career. Even those whose entire livelihoods do not depend on livestock would stand to suffer. Meat is an important part of history, tradition and cultural identity. "The cultural impact of completely giving up meat would be very big, which is why efforts to reduce meat consumption have often faltered," are researcher says. Solution: moderation in meat-eating's frequency and portion. In fact, clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry. What is lacking is the will to implement those changes. How would eating a little less meat affect the future generations? [Question ID = 25466]
1. Greenhouse gas emissions would drop drastically [Option ID = 41861]
2. People will have healthier and happier lifestyles [Option ID = 41859]
3. It would lead to restoration of grasslands and forests [Option ID = 41862]
4. Killing of animals for food will stop [Option ID = 41860]
Correct Answer :-

Read the three passages given below and answer the questions that follow. You have to mark only one option for each question: Passage I "Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it," writes Elizabeth Gilbert. "You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't, you will leak away your innate contentment." However, the latest scientific research suggests that such an attitude can also seriously backfire for many people – leading, for instance, to feelings of stress, loneliness, and personal failure. According to this view, happiness is best seen as kind of timid bird: the harder you strive to catch it, the further it flies away. These findings help to explain the familiar stress and disappointment that some feel during special events such as their birthday, Christmas or New Year's Eve, or a wedding: the more you wanted to enjoy every last moment, the less fun it became, whereas an unexpectedly good trip somewhere nearby may have been a far more positive experience. 'once you stop chasing it, you might just find that it appears naturally of its own accord' means that, Iris Mauss, a U.S. psychologist's research has since shown that the desire for (and pursuit of) happiness can also increase feelings of loneliness and disconnection, perhaps because it causes you to focus your attention on yourself and your own feelings rather than appreciating the people around you. “Self-focus might make me engage with other people less, and I might judge other people more negatively if I perceive them to `mess' with my happiness,” Mauss says. "People might set very high standards for their own happiness as a function of this – they may think they should be happy all the time, or extremely happy, and that can set people up to feel disappointed with themselves, that they fall short - and that could have these self-defeating effects." A study by Maglio, another researcher, has found that the conscious pursuit of happiness may backfire - it's very difficult to feel that you've reached maximum happiness. Happiness really is like a timid animal. And once you stop chasing it, you might just find that it appears naturally of its own accord. Identify the statement that is NOT true according to the author: [Question ID = 25465]
1. We sometimes have a feeling of stress and disappointment during special events [Option ID = 41855]
2. Our feeling of loneliness and disconnection at a wedding party is because it causes you to focus your attention on yourself rather than on others there [Option ID = 41856]
3. We are often unhappy because we expect to be happy all the time, or extremely happy [Option ID = 41857]
4. We could always be happy if we stopped trying to be happy [Option ID = 41858]
Correct Answer :-

And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't, you will leak away your innate contentment." However, the latest scientific research suggests that such an attitude can also seriously backfire for many people - leading, for instance, to feelings of stress, loneliness, and personal failure. According to this view, happiness is best seen as kind of timid bird: the harder you strive to catch it, the further it flies away. These findings help to explain the familiar stress and disappointment that some feel during special events such as their birthday, Christmas or New Year's Eve, or a wedding: the more you wanted to enjoy every last moment, the less fun it became, whereas an unexpectedly good trip somewhere nearby may have been a far more positive experience. Iris Mauss, a U.S. psychologist's research has since shown that the desire for (and pursuit of) happiness can also increase feelings of loneliness and disconnection, perhaps because it causes you to focus your attention on yourself and your own feelings rather than appreciating the people around you. “Self-focus might make me engage with other people less, and I might judge other people more negatively if I perceive them to 'mess' with my happiness," Mauss says. "People might set very high standards for their own happiness as a function of this – they may think they should be happy all the time, or extremely happy, and that can set people up to feel disappointed with themselves, that they fall short – and that could have these self-defeating effects."
