Question and options

Arrange the given sentences in a logical sequence.

1. Population upsurge adds substantially to the rate of deforestation and to the quantum of anthropogenic and biogenic injections into the atmosphere, apart from additional pressure on fast depleting conventional resources.
2. Thus, the importance of birth control programme in our socio-economic development is well recognised and needs no emphasis.
3. An ever increasing population produces a wide variety of impediments to development.
4. A large part of developmental resources available is absorbed by the obligation of just maintaining essential supplies, services, thus seriously eroding resources for development.
  1. 1, 4, 2, 3
  2. 4, 2, 3, 1
  3. 3, 4, 1, 2
  4. 2, 1, 4, 3

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - 3, 4, 1, 2
Sentence 3 opens with the general claim that a growing population creates impediments to development. Sentences 4 and 1 give the impediments (resources absorbed by maintaining supplies; deforestation and pressure on resources), and sentence 2 concludes with 'Thus' on the importance of birth control. So the order is 3, 4, 1, 2.
