Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The southwest monsoon 2020 has officially drawn to an end with the India Meteorological Department (I.M.D.) declaring a withdrawal of the associated winds and rainfall pattern from India on Wednesday. The over 8% surplus this year has surpassed the I.M.D.'s estimates. For the first time since 2010 , India got more than 100% of its long period average (L.P.A.) of 8 cm in consecutive years. Last year the country saw record rainfall of 110% of the L.P.A., the highest in a quarter-century. India has never got over 105% of the L.P.A. in consecutive years in at least 30 years, according to records available since 1988 on the I.M.D. website. Meteorologists often speak of two or three decades 'epochs' of rainfall variation. Since 2000 , India was in a low patch with several drought years and had barely a handful of above normal or excess rainfall. In that light, the two years of a munificent monsoon could signal a possible return to a rainy epoch. While it could mean more rain, it also implies floods, overflowing dams, landslides and loss of lives.Moreover, surplus rains are not evenly distributed in time and space. Therefore, much like there are attempts to improve flood forecast warnings - especially the short-term ones - there ought to be commensurate efforts by authorities and infrastructure agencies to prepare for the environmental and ecological impact of excess rain. This year the I.M.D. undertook a long-due revision of the onset and withdrawal dates of the monsoon in India. By this reckoning, the monsoon's normal withdrawal date was October 15. Historically, this has always been a statistical average and the actual withdrawal is usually within a few days of this. However, this year the withdrawal has been extremely delayed. Factoring in these changes must become a key part of a State and city's disaster management preparedness.Q. "There ought to be commensurate efforts by authorities and infrastructure agencies" means-a)The concerned authorities and infrastructure agencies should do efforts to handle the environmental and ecological impact of excess rain.b)The concerned authorities and infrastructure agencies should do efforts to handle the environmental and ecological impact of meagre rain.c)The concerned authorities and infrastructure agencies should do efforts to handle the environmental and ecological impact of drought.d)The concerned authorities and infrastructure agencies should do efforts to handle the environmental and ecological impact of floods and drought together.Correct answer is option 'A'.
