Direction(170-174): Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
We inhabit a divided world; on one hand the rich are critical of our continuing poverty on the other they warn us against their own methods. We do not wish to impoverish the environment any further and yet we cannot for a moment forget the grim poverty of large number of people. Are not poverty and greed the greatest polluters? For instance,unless we are in a position to provide employment and purchasing power for the daily needs of the tribal people and those who live in or around jungles, we cannot prevent them from combing the forest for food and livelihood, from poaching and from despoiling the vegetation. When they themselves seem deprived how can we urge the preservation of animals? How we speak to those who live in villages and in slums about keeping the oceans, the rivers and the air clean when their own lives are contaminated at the source?The environment cannot be improved in conditions of poverty. Nor can poverty be eradicated without the use of science and technology.
