Question
Five statements are given below, labelled A, B, C, D and E. Among these, four statements, when arranged properly, form a coherent paragraph. From the given options, choose the statement that does not fit into the theme of the passage.
- A Repeated exposure to chronically elevated stress conditions has increasingly been associated with long-term neurological and physiological consequences, particularly in densely populated urban environments.
- B Many urban planners have therefore begun incorporating environmental psychology into infrastructure design, emphasizing green spaces, pedestrian mobility, and reduced sensory overload.
- C The broader objective underlying such initiatives is not merely aesthetic enhancement but the creation of urban ecosystems capable of improving cognitive well-being and emotional resilience.
- D Contemporary research in environmental psychology suggests that physical surroundings exert substantial influence on behavioural patterns, stress regulation, and overall mental health outcomes.
- E Global commodity markets have recently experienced heightened volatility due to fluctuations in crude oil prices and disruptions in international shipping routes.
Solution
Statements A, B, C, and D discuss the relationship between urban environments, environmental psychology, stress regulation, and mental well-being . D introduces the central theme: physical surroundings influence behaviour, stress, and mental health.
A develops this idea by linking chronic stress exposure to neurological and physiological consequences in urban settings.
B shows the practical response by urban planners through green spaces, pedestrian mobility, and reduced sensory overload.
C concludes by explaining the broader aim of such urban design initiatives. Statement E talks about global commodity markets, crude oil prices, and shipping disruptions , which is unrelated to the theme of environmental psychology and urban well-being. Hence, statement E is the odd one out.
