• Here the first thing you have to ask yourself is: what did the judge rule? Did he rule on two ping-pong ball manufacturers or on restitution?
• No, the judge ruled that they owed something. That means that A, B and C are the only possible answer choices.
• You have to also maintain an agreement in tenses. The judge ruled that somebody owed something, not owes. That eliminates choice C.
• One difference between choices A and B is the use of different idioms.
• The manufacturers owed restitution for something, not because of something.
• This is the correct idiomatic expression. The use of ‘their’ is B is also ambiguous. Choice A is the correct answer.

D has a subject, ‘revenue’ and then another subject ‘its rise’ Because of the two different subjects this option does not have parallel structure. Choice B is the correct answer.

The body keeps its core temperature constant at about 37 C by physiological adjustments controlled by the hypothalamus (Thermostat Center) where there are neurons sensitive to changes in skin and blood temperatures. The temperature-regulating centers are found in the Preoptic Area (the anteriorportion of the hypothalamus).

Answer: B - Rice
Explanation:
- India is an agricultural country, and a significant portion of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihood.
- Irrigation is essential for agriculture in various regions of India due to the seasonal and uneven distribution of rainfall.
- Different crops require different amounts of water and irrigation methods for optimal growth.
Rice and its irrigation requirement:
- Rice is a staple food for a large part of the Indian population.
- It is a water-intensive crop and requires a significant amount of water for its growth and cultivation.
- The rice crop needs continuous standing water in the fields, which makes it necessary to have a well-irrigated system in place for its cultivation.
- Flooding or submerged irrigation is the most common method used for irrigating rice fields.
Comparison with other crops:
- Sugarcane, cotton, and wheat are other major crops grown in India.
- While sugarcane and cotton also require a significant amount of water for their growth, they do not need continuous standing water like rice.
- Wheat, on the other hand, requires comparatively less water for its growth and can be cultivated using various irrigation methods like sprinkler or drip irrigation.
- Therefore, considering the water requirement and irrigation methods, rice occupies the largest irrigated area in India.
