If there was such a thing as a perfect food, eggs would be a (A). They’re readily available, easy to cook, affordable and packed with protein. Eating eggs alongside other food can help our bodies (B) more vitamins, too. For example, one study found that adding an egg to salad can increase how much vitamin E we get from the salad. 

But for decades, eating eggs has also been (C) due to their high cholesterol content – which some studies have linked to an increased risk of heart disease. One egg yolk (D)  around 185 milligrams of cholesterol, which is more than half of the 300mg daily amount of cholesterol that the US dietary guidelines (E) until recently.  

Does that mean eggs, rather than being an ideal food, might actually be doing us (F)? Cholesterol, a yellowish fat produced in our liver and intestines, can be found in every one of our body’s cells. We normally think of it as “bad”. But cholesterol is a (G) building block in our cell membranes. It also is needed for the body to make vitamin D, and the hormones testosterone and oestrogen.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:

At the turn of the 20th century, it is estimated that India probably had many thousands of tigers in the wild.

The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Government of India, have been conducting tiger estimation surveys in partnership with NGOs. WWF-India was the key NGO partner of the WII and NTCA in conducting the comprehensive country-wide tiger estimation exercise in 2010-11, which revealed a mean tiger population estimate of 1,706.

Based on a census using the pug mark technique, the number of tigers in 2002 stood at 3,642. As per the 2014 tiger estimation exercise conducted by WII in association with the NTCA using camera traps, there were only 2,226 tigers left in the wild in India.

The tiger is not just a charismatic species or just another wild animal living in some far away forest. The tiger is a unique animal which plays a massive role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem. It is a top _______ which is at the apex of the food chain and keeps the population of wild hoofed mammals in check, thereby maintaining the balance between prey herbivores and the vegetation upon which they feed. Therefore, the presence of tigers in the forest is an indicator of the well being of the ecosystem. The extinction of this top predator is an indication that its ecosystem is vulnerable, and would not exist for long thereafter. If the tigers go extinct, it would bring down the entire system. For e.g. when the Dodos went extinct in Mauritius, one species of Acacia tree stopped regenerating completely. So when a species goes extinct, it leaves behind a scar, which affects the entire ecosystem. Another reason why we need to save the tiger is that our forests are water catchment areas. 

Therefore, it’s not just about saving a beautiful animal. It is about making sure that we live a little longer as the forests are known to provide ecological services like clean air, water, pollination, temperature regulation etc.

24

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

(A) The number of tigers in India has decreased since 2002.

(B) When the Dodos went extinct, one species of Acacia tree stopped regenerating.

(C) The entire ecosystem is affected by the extinction of one species.
