Question
In the question given below, a passage is given
followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Stretching across the border of Nepal and China, the Himalayas contain some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest. The Khumbu region, located on the Nepalese side of the range, is home to the Sagarmatha National Park, which is part of the larger Hindu Kush Himalayan region. In the east, the mountains and glaciers link Nepal to the Tibetan Plateau, creating a vital corridor for both rare alpine wildlife and ancient trading routes. I. Mount Everest is the highest point of the Himalayas, located in the Khumbu region. II. The Tibetan Plateau is the largest plateau in Asia. III. The Nepal-China border politically divides the Himalayan range between the two countries.Solution
The passage tells us how the Himalayas stretch across the border of Nepal and China. We can infer that the border divides the mountain range politically between the two countries. III follows. Thus, C is the right answer. I is incorrect as the passage only mentions that Mount Everest is one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas. We cannot infer that it is the single highest point of the entire range based only on this text, nor does the text specify it is located strictly within the Khumbu region. II cannot be inferred as the passage does not provide information comparing the Tibetan Plateau to other plateaus in Asia; it merely mentions its location relative to Nepal.
