Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The wildfires which have been raging in Oregon, California and Washington in the United States (US) since mid August 2020,2020, have burned millions of acres of lands, killed more than 300300 people and destroyed thousands of homes. With the US elections due in November 2020,2020, the wildfires have also become a key political issue. Last week, Joe Biden warned that "climate change poses an imminent, existential threat to our way of life" and accused the present government, a climate sceptic, of denying "that reality".Mr Biden's statement linking the wildfires with the climate crisis has wide support. California governor Gavin Newsom said this is a "climate emergency". Scientists have blamed the peak heat wave and dry winds for fanning the fires, and have warned that such "compound disasters" (when more than one extreme event takes place at the same time, across geographies) are a result of the climate crisis. The US is not the only country that has seen such wildfires. An inquiry has found Australia's 2019−202019-20 bush fires were likely made worse by the climate crisis, warning that such devastating wildfires are likely to happen again.While India has not seen such large-scale fires, forest fires (mainly manmade) are not uncommon. But unfortunately, the forest department's firefighting capabilities are rudimentary. It doesn't have modern equipment, adequate number of vehicles and enough field staff, which can bolster their rapid response system. In an era of the climate crisis and human encroachment into forest areas, it's time to learn from the crises of the US and Australia and bolster its firefighting infrastructure.Q. As per the passage, some of the countries have faced the cases of bush fires due to major climate crises since last year till now resulting in loss of lives, land and dwellings? Which are these countries?a)The United States (US) onlyb)India and Californiac)The United states (US), Australia and Indiad)The United States (US) and AustraliaCorrect answer is option 'D'.
