Question : Statement 1: India, Pakistan, and China have witnessed a significant increase in urban population.
Statement 2: Factors such as rural-urban migration, job opportunities, and better living standards in cities have contributed to the growth of urban population in these countries.
Option 1: Both statements are true.
Option 2: Both statements are false.
Option 3: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Option 4: Statement 2 is true, Statement 1 is false.
Correct Answer: Both statements are true.
Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both statements are true.
Statement 1 claims that India, Pakistan, and China have witnessed a significant increase in urban population. This statement is true. All three countries have experienced rapid urbanization over the years, with a significant increase in the proportion of their populations living in urban areas. This trend is supported by demographic data and urbanization studies.
Statement 2 states that factors such as rural-urban migration, job opportunities, and better living standards in cities have contributed to the growth of urban population in these countries. This statement is also true. Rural-urban migration, driven by factors such as seeking better job opportunities and improved living standards, has been a major driver of urban population growth in these countries. Additionally, the availability of employment opportunities and better infrastructure in cities compared to rural areas has attracted people to urban centers.
Therefore, both statements are true.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Black Drongo also known as the King Crow, is a small Asian bird of the drongo family. Previously, it was seen as a subspecies of the African Fork-tailed Drongo but is now recognized as a full species. It is a common resident breeder in much of tropical southern Asia from southwest Iran through India and Sri Lanka to southern China and Indonesia. It is a wholly black bird with a distinctive forked tail and measures 28 cm in length.
Feeding on insects, it is commonly found in open agricultural areas and light forest areas throughout its range, perching conspicuously on a bare perch or along power or telephone lines.
The species is famous for its aggressive behaviour towards much larger birds, such as crows, and never hesitates to dive-bomb any birds of prey that invade its territory. Smaller birds often nest in the well-guarded vicinity of a nesting Black Drongo
The Black Drongo has been introduced to some Pacific islands, where it has thrived and become abundant to the point of threatening and causing the extinction of native and endemic bird species there.
Drongos fly with strong flaps of the wing and are capable of fast manoeuvres that enable them to capture flying insects. With short legs, they sit upright on thorny bushes, bare perches or electricity wires. They may also perch on grazing animals.
The Black Drongo is found predominantly in open country and usually perches and hunts close to the ground. They are mostly aerial predators of insects but also glean from the ground or off vegetation.
They are found as summer visitors to northeastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan but are mainly resident south from the Indus Valley up to Bangladesh and into India and Sri Lanka.
Question:
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
Option 1: The drongo looks exactly like a crow.
Option 2: Smaller birds are protected by the drongo.
Option 3: This bird is a native of tropical countries in south-Asia.
Option 4: The drongo is a small perching bird.
Correct Answer: The drongo looks exactly like a crow.
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The statement "the drongo looks exactly like a crow" is not true, according to the passage.
The passage describes the Black Drongo as a wholly black bird with a distinctive forked tail, measuring 28 cm in length. While it mentions that the Black Drongo is sometimes known as the King Crow, this is likely due to its aggressive behaviour towards larger birds, such as crows, and not because it looks exactly like a crow.
