Question
In the question given below, a passage is followed by
three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that air pollution causes around seven million premature deaths every year. The report highlights that exposure to fine particulate matter increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, respiratory illness, and cancer. It also warns that more than 90% of the global population lives in areas where air quality levels exceed WHO limits, with developing nations being the worst affected. 1. Air pollution poses a serious threat to human health. 2. People in developing countries are more exposed to air pollution. 3. Air pollution is the leading cause of all premature deaths in the world.Solution
Statement 1 is correct — the passage clearly states that air pollution causes millions of premature deaths and increases the risk of several diseases, showing that it is a serious health threat. Statement 2 is also correct — the passage specifically mentions that developing nations are the worst affected, implying that people there are more exposed. Statement 3 is incorrect — the passage says air pollution causes around seven million premature deaths, but does not state that it is the leading cause of all such deaths. Hence, the correct answer is C) Only 1 and 2.
