Question

Which of the following is/are the correct inference/inferences that can be made from the passage?
1. Deforestation can cause changes in the course of rivers.
2. Salinization of land takes place due to human activities only.
3. Intense monoculture practice in plains is a major reason for desertification in Tropical Asia, Africa and South America.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is (A) 1 only. Explanation: The passage mentions that deforestation leads to siltation and changing course of river systems (inference 1 is correct). However, the passage doesn't explicitly state that salinization is only due to human activities or that monoculture is the major reason for desertification in these regions (inferences 2 and 3 cannot be made).
