DIRECTIONS (Qs. 15-17) : Read the following passage carefully

Recently , a newspaper article mourned the total disappearance of
the common house sparrow.
This was a comment on the city's perceptible move towards edging
out the flora and fauna of the city . In the rapid urbanization, multi-
storied apartments grew and large scale felling of trees became
necessary. Last week, however, seven pairs of these sparrows
were spotted in a suburb. Possibly the greenery of this place has
created a new habitat for these birds which like their proximity to
human beings, and have made a comeback. A systematic
development of trees and shrubs  all over the city could woo the
absentee house sparrow to our midst.
15. In the passage the term "urbanisation" has been used to
refer to

(b) construction of concrete structures on a large scale
(c) a change over from the rural life to the city life

(b) the sparrow that has forgotten its habitat
(c) the sparrow that has gone away from the urban areas
(d) the sparrow that has become extinct
17. According to the passage, the birds have made a comeback

(b) Love to be amidst human beings
(c) get food only where human beings live
(d) they have been deliberately brought back by
biologists

Recently , a newspaper article mourned the total disappearance of
the common house sparrow.
This was a comment on the city's perceptible move towards edging
out the flora and fauna of the city . In the rapid urbanization, multi-
storied apartments grew and large scale felling of trees became
necessary. Last week, however, seven pairs of these sparrows
were spotted in a suburb. Possibly the greenery of this place has
created a new habitat for these birds which like their proximity to
human beings, and have made a comeback. A systematic
development of trees and shrubs  all over the city could woo the
absentee house sparrow to our midst.

(b) construction of concrete structures on a large scale

16. The phrase "absentee house sparrow" refers to

biologists
