Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option:

Globalisation means an integration of the economy of the country with the world economy. It involves an increased level of interaction and interdependence among various peoples as well as countries. In globalisation, there is free exchange of products, ideas, culture, manpower and other resources. It brings people together and helps them make the best use of one another's strengths.

Nationalism is often thought of as identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, particularly to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. It means protection of the interests of the local people and local industries by reducing the engagement of the individuals and businesses with the rest of the world. Nationalism often leads to protectionist measures by the government by imposing high tariff on foreign goods and services.

However, the world today is highly integrated and international trade plays an extremely important role in the growth of an economy. Therefore,

Nationalism and Globalisation must exist together as they are like two wheels of a bicycle. Both have to move together in perfect balance.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows by choosing the most appropriate option: As a result of increasing human population and impact of its activities on natural resources, Earth's environment has undergone significant changes, especially during the latter half of the twentieth century. One of the changes is an increase in the concentration of Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the lower layers and Ozone depletion in the upper layers of the atmosphere causing a gradual increase in surface air temperature. The Earth has been suffering from fever and the two lead culprits of this phenomenon are Carbon emissions and Ozone depleting substances. A warmer world will have both beneficial and harmful effects but poor nations in the tropics will suffer the most. Some areas will benefit because of less severe winters, more precipitation in some dry areas, less precipitation in wet areas and increased food production. Some plant and animal species adapted to higher temperatures may be able to expand their population and range. Other areas will suffer from excessive heat, lack of water and decreased food production. Wildfires in forests and grasslands are likely to increase where the climate becomes drier. Trees would suffer from diseases and pest population would go up. Plants and animal species, unable to migrate or adapt to higher temperatures, are likely to be reduced. Shifts in regional climate will also threaten parks, wild reserves, wetlands and coral reefs. Other ecosystems likely to be disrupted are polar seas, coastal wetlands, alpine tundra, and high altitude mountain tops. So climate change has become one of the prime issues threatening the sustainability of the World's environment.
