निम्नलिखित गद्यांश के आधार पर पाँच प्रश्न दिए गए हैं। गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ें तथा प्रत्येक प्रश्न के चार विकल्पों में से सही विकल्प चुनें।

भारत देश में कृषि उत्पादन की पद्धतियों में आधुनिक विधियों का चलन बढ़ने लगा है। पक्षी खेतों में उन कीड़ों का भक्षण करते हैं जो फसल को खाकर उनका नाश करते हैं। पाया गया है कि पक्षी हमारे देश की कृषि प्रणालियों के लिए अत्यंत मूल्यवान है। यह खेतों में कीड़े मकौड़ों की समस्या का हल बनकर, अनाज की रखवाली में किसानों की मदद करते हैं। भारत का पश्चिमी तट विभिन्न प्रजातियों के पक्षियों का निवास है।

नीलकंठ पक्षी कर्नाटक का राज्य पक्षी है। ये यहां के बांदीपुर राष्ट्रीय उपवन में पाए जाते हैं। यह न केवल दक्षिण भारत में, बल्कि उत्तर पूर्व और अन्य कई प्रांतों में भी कीटनाशक पक्षी के रूप में लोकप्रिय है। हमारी जानी पहचानी चिड़िया घरेलू गौरैया का भी धान, कपास और मकई की खेती में अमूल्य योगदान होता है।

गौरैया और नीलकंठ दोनों को सांस्कृतिक तौर से भी महत्त्वपूर्ण माना जाता है। ये टिड्डी (लोकस्ट) के दुश्मन एवं किसानों के दोस्त होते हैं। 1958 से 1962 के बीच चीन की सरकार ने "फोर पेस्ट्स कैंपेन" के ज़रिये गौरैया का विनाश रचाया था। इसका नतीजा यह हुआ कि टिड्डियों की संख्या असामान्य मात्रा में बढ़ गई और यह विश्व के सबसे भयानक अकाल का कारण बन गया। यह एक सबक है जो हमें वर्तमान में याद रखना चाहिए। पिछले कई सालों से प्रदूषण के कारण गौरैया की संख्या का शहरी इलाकों में तेज़ी से हास हुआ है।
