Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions: Protecting the health of coastal waters is now a matter of national policy in many countries including the United States of America. World leaders are beginning to prescribe a revolutionary remedy that conservationists have been promoting for years: marine planning and zoning. The idea is a natural extension of management policies that have guided the cities and landscapes for nearly a century. Zoning advocates envisioning a mosaic of regional map in which every watery space on the planet is designated for a particular purpose. Drilling and mining would be allowed only in certain parts of the ocean; fishing in others. The most critically threatened areas would be virtually off-limits. Whereas people can easily find maps telling them what they can do where on land, the marine realm is a hodgepodge of rules emanating from an army of agencies, each one managing a single use of symptom. Match the List-1 with List-2 and choose the correct answer from the options given below 1. Zoning A. A method of urban planning 2. Mosaic B. A confused mixture of all sorts of different things 3. Hodgepodge C. To come out from a source 4. Emanating D. A picture made with small coloured pieces

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - 1-A, 2-D, 3-B, 4-C 1. Zoning: A. A method of urban planning – Zoning is indeed a method used in urban planning to designate areas for specific uses. 2. Mosaic: D. A picture made with small coloured pieces – In the context of the passage, "mosaic" refers to a composite of various designated areas, much like a mosaic art piece is made up of small pieces. 3. Hodgepodge: B. A confused mixture of all sorts of different things – The passage describes the marine realm as a "hodgepodge" of rules, indicating a confused or disorganized mixture. 4. Emanating: C. To come out from a source– The passage uses "emanating" to describe rules coming from various agencies. |
