    Question

    Read the following passage and answer the question that

    follows. In recent years, the migratory pattern of the Amur falcon has shown noticeable changes. These birds, which typically begin their migration from eastern Russia and China in mid-October, have been spotted departing as early as late September. Experts attribute this shift to rising temperatures in their breeding grounds, which may be affecting food availability and triggering earlier migration. The Amur falcons travel through India before continuing to southern Africa. Their stopover in northeastern India remains largely unchanged, although some early arrivals have been noted. The overall migratory route and destination, however, remain consistent. Statements: I. Rising temperatures in the breeding grounds of Amur falcons may be influencing their migration schedule. II. The Amur falcon's stopover location in India has changed due to climate change. III. The migration route and final destination of the Amur falcon have not changed. Which of the above statements can be inferred from the passage?
    A Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All I, II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement I: The passage explicitly states that rising temperatures in the breeding grounds may be affecting food availability and triggering early migration. This can be inferred. Statement II: The passage mentions that the stopover in northeastern India remains largely unchanged, even though there are some early arrivals. So, the location of the stopover has not changed. This cannot be inferred. Statement III: The passage clearly states that the "overall migratory route and destination... remain consistent." So this can be inferred.
