Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.
It is argued in the passage that the impoverishment of the world's habitat ________________.
[Question ID = 14688]
1. is largely due to gradual changes in climate over long years [Option ID = 28750]
2. cannot be remedied [Option ID = 28752]
3. is first and foremost due to man's irresponsible abuse of the vegetable cover of the earth [Option ID =

4. became inevitable as soon as agricultural and animal husbandry developed [Option ID = 28751]
Correct Answer :-

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.
It is argued in the passage that the impoverishment of the world's habitat ________________.

1. is largely due to gradual changes in climate over long years [Option ID = 28750]

led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.
It is pointed out in the passage that the loss of organic matter in the soil

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.
It is argued in the passage that the impoverishment of the world's habitat ________________.

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows:-
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as
the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and
livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in
historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total
environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has
led to deterioration of the microclimate above and below the surface, generally in the direction
of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of
high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its
capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible
is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation,
this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.
It is pointed out in the passage that the loss of organic matter in the soil
