Scientists from four Canadian universities used Fitbits and spy mics to record over 14,000 hours of sound from the secret lives of Canada lynx, a medium-sized cat-like North American predator. It is usually found across Canada and the north-American US region. Canada lynx are difficult to study for researchers because of their elusive nature. This led researchers to use the latest miniaturized technology to gain insights into their lives, a first in remote wildlife research. Researchers attached accelerometers and small audio recorders as collars to the animals, which are one of the top predators of the boreal forest of Canada.
On 26 lynx that were the subject of the study, researchers deployed a total of 39 collars with the recording devices that captured over 14,470 hours of data. “The first time going through the audio files… you just hear the chaos. And then click a little bit further along and you hear what you think is bones cracking," said Emily Studd, the lead researcher and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta, in an interview to CBS.
In the recorded audio, the animals can be heard bonding, fighting, cleaning themselves, and even whining after losing a meal. Studd and her colleagues spent five years on the study that offers the science community a peek into the animals’ lives. "I spent three years in the field specifically tracking them, and rarely ever saw them," Studd underscores the challenges of studying the predators’ lives. According to her, because predators need to sneak up on their prey, they are naturally secretive animals.
The new study, which was published in the British Ecological Society’s journal Methods of Ecology and Evolution, opens up a new possibility of using such technologies to study and monitor the hunting behavior of predators. These technologies can make documentation of even the smallest activities of elusive animals possible.
Q. Researchers deployed a total of how many collars?

Q. What is the opposite of 'Predator'?
Direction: Read the given passage and answer the question that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.
One of the main reasons of corruption in elections today is the lure of power which haunts the politicians so much that they feel no qualms of conscience in adopting any underhand method to come out successful. The Watergate Scandal in the U.S.A. is an eloquent example to testify to the fact how even the top level politicians can stoop to the lowest level in order to maintain themselves in power. Who does not remember how Adolf Hitler rode roughshod overall canons of electoral pro-priety to capture power ? In India also the record of the various political parties is not clean. Corruption thrives in elections because those in the field play on the psychology of the electorate. The voters are swayed by the tall promises of the candidates to whose machinations they fall an easy prey. They are also susceptible to fall an easy prey to the adulations of the politicians due to their illiteracy. Besides, in the representative democracies today and particularly in big countries the constituencies are quite extensive obviating the possibility of corrupt practices being discovered. Anti-corruption laws are honored more in their breach than in their observance. Even the code of conduct to be observed by the parties fighting the elections becomes a dead letter in as much as it is jettisoned out of existence and thrown unscrupulously over board by the unfair politicians whose only aim is to maintain themselves in the saddle.

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the following question.
The quiet, sleepy, yet mesmerizing village of Mawsynram trounced Cherrapunji to become the wettest place in the world. Mawsynram receives over 10,000 millimetres of rain in a year. A recent study that looked at the rainfall pattern in the past 119 years found a decreasing trend at Cherrapunji and nearby areas. The team analyzed daily rain gauge measurements during 1901–to 2019 and noted that the changes in the Indian Ocean temperature have a huge effect on the rainfall in the region. They also analyzed satellite data and add that there was a reduction in the vegetation area in northeast India in the past two decades, implying that human influence also plays an important role in the changing rainfall patterns. “The traditional way of cultivation known as Jhum cultivation or shifting cultivation is now decreased and being replaced by other methods. Also, previous studies have noted there is sizable deforestation in the region. Our study also saw the decrease in vegetation cover and increase in the areas of cropland mainly from the year 2006 onwards,” says Jayanarayanan Kuttippurath from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. He is the lead author of the paper published last month in Environmental Research Letters.
The analysis showed reductions in vegetation with 104.5 sq km lost per year. On the other hand, there were significant increases in crop-land (182.1 sq km per year) and urban and built-up lands (0.3 sq km per year) during the period 2001–2018. The team noted that the annual mean rainfall for the period 1973–2019 showed decreasing trends of about 0.42 mm per decade. It was statistically significant along with seven stations (Agartala, Cherrapunji, Guwahati, Kailashahar, Pasighat, Shillong, and Silchar).
But why study the northeast region? The team writes that since northeast India is mostly hilly and is an extension of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the region is highly sensitive to changes in regional and global climate. “It has to be noted that the first signs of the effect of climate change will be evident for the extreme cases such as the rainfall at Cherrapunji,” adds the paper. “Northeast India has the highest vegetation cover in India and includes 18 biodiversity hotspots of the world, indicating the importance of the region in terms of its greenery and climate-change sensitivity.”
Q. What is the antonym of the word "mesmerizing"?
