Given below are four-sentence paragraphs (S1 -S4). S1 and S4 are given. From the options (P, Q, R) choose two sentences which can be S2 and S3. S1: Today, you can hardly look around you and not spot some item that is made entirely from plastic or has some plastic ingredient.  S2: S3: S4: Because of this many governments strictly control its use and create complex law that govern its creation, recycling P. This is not perfect as plastic has several disadvantages that prevent it from becoming universal building block of modern human civilization. Q. This only proves that plastic has managed to become popular building material of millions of useful items. R.  This troublesome ability of plastic doesn’t have great immediate impact on our environment.

R.  This troublesome ability of plastic doesn’t have great immediate impact on our environment. Correct Answer QP

Q must follow S1  as it validates what is mentioned in S1. P follows Q as 'this' in P is the fact mentioned in Q.

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only. Many farmers use synthetic pesticides to kill infesting insects. The consumption of pesticides in some of the developed countries is touching 3000 grams/hectare. Unfortunately, there are reports that these compounds possess inherent toxicities that endanger the health of the farm operators, consumers and the environment. Synthetic pesticides are generally persistent in environment. Entering in food chain they destroy the microbial diversity and cause ecological imbalance. Their indiscriminate use has resulted in development of resistance among insects to insecticides, upsetting of balance in nature and resources of treated populations. Natural pest control using the botanical pesticides is safer to the user and the environment because they break down into harmless compounds within hours or days in the presence of sunlight. Plants with pesticidal properties have been in nature for millions of years without any ill or adverse effects on the ecosystem. They are easily decomposed by many microbes common in most soils. They help in the maintenance of biological diversity of predators and human health hazards. Botanical pesticides formulated from plants are biodegradable and their use in crop protection is a practical sustainable alternative. Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding biopesticides? 1. They are not hazardous to human health. 2. They are persistent in environment. 3. They are essential to maintain the biodiversity of any ecosystem. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
