Question:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck’s worth of plastic is dumped into our ocean. Plastic pollution is a global problem. Approximately 7 billion of the 9.2 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced from 1950-2017 became plastic waste, ending up in landfills or being dumped. Plastic pollution can alter habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems’ ability to adapt to climate change, directly affecting millions of people’s livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being.
UNEP’s body of work demonstrates that the problem of plastic pollution doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The environmental, social, economic and health risks of plastics need to be assessed alongside other environmental stressors, like climate change, ecosystem degradation and resource use.
Which of the following represents the structure of the passage?

SubQuestion No : 47
निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा गद्यांश की संरचना (structure) को दर्शाता है?
Options:
- a) Definition
- b) Sequence
- c) Cause-effect
- d) Time order
- a) परिभाषा (Definition)
- b) अनुक्रम (Sequence)
- c) कारण-प्रभाव (Cause-effect)
- d) समय क्रम (Time order)
correct answer : c)
Explanation:
The passage discusses plastic pollution and then explains its negative impacts (cause-effect) on habitats, ecosystems’ ability to adapt, livelihoods, etc. Thus, the structure is ‘Cause-effect’. Option (c) is correct.
गद्यांश प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण (कारण) और उसके बाद आवासों, पारिस्थितिकी प्रणालियों की अनुकूलन क्षमता, आजीविका आदि पर इसके नकारात्मक प्रभावों (प्रभावों) पर चर्चा करता है। अतः गद्यांश की संरचना ‘Cause-effect’ (कारण-प्रभाव) पर आधारित है। विकल्प (c) सही है।
