31. Caterpillars or similar organisms frequently fall victim to voracious predators like reptiles or birds. They do not have robust defense mechanisms to protect them, such as jaws or claws, but regardless of this, they have evolved other equally powerful obstacles.

So, if any predator ate any creature of this species, it would plausibly vomit it soon after. In the future also, the hunting organism will desist from attacking similar species.

37. Until a hundred years ago, as humans, we had a simple, uncomplicated biological connection. It was a straightforward equation: we drew roughly 3000 calories each of energy out of the Earth for our food and life's sustenance. Today that number per capita has grown to 100000 calories. We still need only 3000 calories each to nourish life itself. All the rest of this energy is what we extract from the Earth for everything else besides keeping ourselves alive. We fret over what we could and should really be doing to soften this abuse of resources. Little things fox us in the welter of things that we get to read. What is sustainable development? How can it be started at our homes? Beyond the ceremonial planting of green and getting people to run marathons of various lengths in support of the environment, is there more that we can add to the abstract value of 'sustainability'? Of course, we know that it helps to avoid a plastic bag when you can use a newspaper bag, or a brown bag, or even a jute bag which you can use for many more It is possible to understand our ecological footprint and its disastrous consequences, not merely in terms of our own behavior as consumers, but really in terms of the impact on the environment we make.
What does the author mean by 'fox us'?
Options:
A) Dispirit us -> Answer
B) Confuse us
C) Inform us
D) Encourage us
38. Patrimony : Inheritance :: Patronymic : ?

39. The only thing worse than being lied to is not knowing you're being lied to. It's true that plastic pollution is a huge problem, of planetary proportions. And it's true we could all do more to reduce our plastic footprint. The lie is that blame for the plastic problem is wasteful consumers and that changing our individual habits will fix it.
Recycling plastic is to saving the Earth what hammering a nail is to halting a falling skyscraper. You struggle to find a place to do it and feel pleased when you succeed. But your effort is wholly inadequate and distracts from the real problem of why the building is collapsing in the first place. The real problem is that single-use plastic--the very idea of producing plastic items like grocery bags, which we use for an average of 12 minutes but can persist in the environment for half a millennium--is an incredibly reckless abuse of technology Encouraging individuals to recycle more will never solve the problem of a massive production of single-use plastic that should have been avoided in the first place.
As an ecologist and evolutionary biologist, I have had a disturbing window into the accumulating literature on the hazards of plastic pollution. Scientists have long recognized that plastics biodegrade slowly, if at all, and pose multiple threats to wildlife through entanglement and consumption. More recent reports highlight dangers posed by the absorption of toxic chemicals in the water and by plastic odors that mimic some species' natural food. Plastics also accumulate up the food chain, and studies now show that we are likely ingesting it ourselves in seafood....
Beginning in the 1950s, big beverage companies like Coca-Cola and Anheuser-Busch, along with Phillip Morris and others, formed a non-profit called Keep America Beautiful. Its mission is/was to educate and encourage environmental stewardship in the public... At face value, these efforts seem benevolent, but they obscure the real problem, which is the role that corporate polluters play in the plastic problem. This clever misdirection has led journalist and author Heather Rogers to describe Keep America Beautiful as the first corporate greenwashing front, as it has helped shift the public focus to consumer recycling behavior and actively thwarted legislation that would increase extended producer responsibility for waste management... [T]he greatest success of Keep America Beautiful has been to shift the onus of environmental responsibility onto the public while simultaneously becoming a trusted name in the environmental movement....
So what can we do to make responsible use of plastic a reality? First: reject the lie. Litterbugs are not responsible for the global ecological disaster of plastic. Humans can only function to the best of their abilities, given time, mental bandwidth, and systemic constraints. Our huge problem with plastic is the result of a permissive legal framework that has allowed the uncontrolled rise of plastic pollution, despite clear evidence of the harm it causes to local communities and the world's oceans. Recycling is also too hard in most parts of the U.S. and lacks the proper incentives to make it work well.
How does the author feel about the non-profit organization 'Keep America Beautiful'?
Options:
A) Critiques it saying they can be doing more to protect the environment
B) Patronises it stating that she can be doing better than the corporations
C) Detests it as it hides the real plastic problem of the corporations -> Answer
D) Supports it and encourages the readers to do their part in the fight against pollution

49. Consider for a moment the idea that you want to camp along with the dinosaurs, not just any dinosaur, but the most fearsome and famous. You spin the dials on your time machine to 66.5 million years ago and travel to the late Cretaceous period. You find the triceratops being hunted by the tyrannosaurus. Then the Alamosaurus, one of the enormous creatures ever on Earth. You see the tank-like Ankylosaurus crushing its opponents with a wrecking-ball tail. As you settle down, you find a new star in the northern hemisphere sky one evening. The star won't be blazing, flashing or flaring up across the sky. It will simply be stationary and twinkly like the others. A few hours later, it will look a bit brighter. If you look at it the next night, it will be the brightest in the sky. It will eventually outshine the planets, the moon the sun, streaking through the atmosphere and striking Earth. At this point, you should be moving on to the other side of the planet. The day the Chicxulub asteroid slammed into what is today a small town on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula is the most important moment in our planet's history. The dinosaurs' reign ended, and the age of the mammals began, all within a prehistoric nanosecond. Will you be able to survive such an apocalyptic period? Maybe. Charles Bardeen, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, has the answer: "If you camp on the right continent, having the right environment, and you manage to find the right type of shelter, at the right altitude, at the right times, you might stand a chance to survive." Even if you are on the other side of the world, you should act quickly when you hear the sonic boom on impact. The cataclysmic risk that an asteroid might post wasn't understood until World War 1. Before then, astronomers believed that such apocalyptic impacts were not possible.
According to Charles Bardeen, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, how would you be able to survive an apocalyptic event like the Chicxulub asteroid?
Options:
A) right continent -> Answer
B) right shelter
C) right altitude
D) all of the above
