Which of the following is correct according to the passage?1). Thinning of forests must be done when the trees have matured enough2). Thinning of forest must be done in an early stage when the trees have just begun to compete for water and sunlight3). Thinning of forests will lead to growing of weak trees affecting the carbon storage capacity4). Droughts and floods can be effectively controlled by thinning of the forests

Answer»

Option 4 can be eliminated easily as there has been no mention of 'effects of THINNING on droughts and floods' in the entire passage.

The passage concludes by noting that the EARLY thinning of the FORESTS is beneficial and thinning trees, when matured, had not been successful. Thus, option 1 can be eliminated.

Also, the line ‘These trees grew thick trunks and broad canopies’ in the second paragraph CONTRADICTS option 3.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
