Direction: Read the following passage carefully and
answer the questions that follow:
Destruction of forests has a
major impact on the productivity of our crop lands. This happens in twoways. Soil erosion increases manifold and the soil
literally gets washed away, leading to an accentuated cycle of floods and droughts. But equally important is the impact of the shortage of fire-wood on the productivity of crop lands. When firewood becomes scarce, people begin to burn cowdung and crop wastes. In many places of our country, cowdung and crop wastes are the major sources of cooking energy. Consequently every part of the plant gets used and nothing goes back to the soil. Over a period of time, this nutrient drain affects crop productivity. In addition to this, the technology of the Green Revolution, the technology of growing high-yielding varieties on a limited diet of chemical fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphates and potash. The total bio-mass production goes up and so does the drain of the
nutrients from the soil. [2023 (ZW)]

Unseen passage day→2
If we want success in any undertaking, we must work steadily to the end. No undertaking is attained without difficulties. Sheridan, a famous orator of England, attempted to make a speech in the Parliament but failed and sat down in great discomfiture. His friend told him that he could not be an orator. He replied, "It is in me and shall come out," and he afterwards succeeded in becoming a persuasive orator of his day. The late Earl of Beaconsfield also broke down in the midst of his maiden speech in the House of Commons. He sat down in the midst of hisses but he told the audience with some emotion. "I have several times begun many things and often succeeded at last. I shall sit down now, but the time will come, when you will hear me." These words
afterwards proved to be prophetic. We should not,
therefore, be discouraged by disappointment at the
beginning of life.

undertaking?
