Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Goa is a natural paradise that offers travelers who need a break from city life an opportunity to experience nature at its best. If you want to combine a holiday with conservation work, it is the ideal place to go. The region’s lush landscapes, tranquil beaches, and vibrant ecosystems make it a perfect getaway for nature lovers. I spent two weeks at a nature conservation center in Goa, and it was one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on.

The conservation center, which serves as a field station for biologists and ecologists, was set up so that they could do research and check the development of various plants and wildlife. It is also a hub for collaborative projects aimed at preserving the region’s unique biodiversity. In addition, the center tries to make the local communities in the region aware of environmental issues. There are also volunteers at the center who help with various conservation activities in the area.

After a two – day training course, I started working with the team responsible for the conservation of sea turtles. My role was to collect data on the turtles and also to talk to people in the local community about things they can do to help protect the turtles. I spent most of my days walking up and down the beaches, observing and writing down everything I noticed about the turtles. At sunset, I would eat dinner with the other team members and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In my free time, I went swimming in the sea and I also went on organized nature walks into the jungle. This was a truly amazing experience as I got to see all kinds of interesting wildlife up close, from colorful birds to elusive monkeys. However, the best thing was visiting the waterfalls; they were simply wonderful. I also took a yoga class that was offered at the center, which helped me feel even more connected to the serene environment around me.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

As governments race to cut emissions, earth houses are moving from a niche idea to a practical type of climate housing in parts of Europe, North America, and the Global South. This change is supported by clear data: in 2022, buildings used about 34% of the world’s energy and produced about 37% of energy –  and process – related CO₂ emissions. At the same time, the long – term trend is still worrying—IPCC reports show building – related CO₂ emissions have risen strongly over recent decades—so many cities now see housing as part of their climate plan, not only real estate.

[I] Developers are using earth – sheltered designs—homes built into slopes or with soil piled against the walls—because the ground helps keep indoor temperatures more stable. U.S. [II] Energy Saver guidance says these homes can be comfortable and weather – resistant if they are designed well. [III] New projects combine thick walls (thermal mass) with good insulation, drainage layers, and smart building direction to reduce cooling needs during heatwaves. [IV]

At the same time, more builders are returning to earthen materials like rammed earth, adobe, and compressed earth blocks as cities and buyers take a closer look at embodied carbon. Reviews of recent research suggest these materials can reduce environmental impact compared with common building materials, while still offering good heat control and strength. However, life – cycle studies warn that results depend on choices like how much cement is added and how far materials are transported—so teams often stick with local sourcing and keep clear records to stay on the right side of building rules.

In practice, the biggest reason is resilience. Cities are setting stricter requirements for waterproofing and drainage; insurers are keeping an eye on how these homes perform in floods and heatwaves; and builders are training workers to control moisture and pack the material correctly. For many cities, earth houses are becoming a credible way to protect the environment, rather than an idea that only a few people go for.

Question 31: Where in paragraph [] does the following sentence best fit?

Experts also note that shifting energy use (for example, pre – cooling) works best in well – insulated homes, so passive design can also be a grid – friendly choice.

A.  [I]        B. [II]        C. [III]        D. [IV]

C.  Utilizing smart building direction for efficiency.         

D.  Installing solar panels to generate green electricity.

Question 35: Which of the following best summarises the main idea of paragraph 2?

A.  The U.S. Energy Saver guidance provides the only reliable standards for building earth – sheltered homes today.

B.  Earth – sheltered designs utilize natural ground properties and strategic engineering to enhance indoor thermal stability.

C.  High indoor temperatures during heatwaves are the primary reason why developers prefer building homes into slopes.

D.  Passive design is becoming the most grid – friendly choice for cities that are struggling with electricity system pressure.

Question 37: According to paragraph 3, what factor can significantly influence the environmental benefits of using earthen materials?

A.  The specific color and aesthetic appeal of the compressed earth blocks used in construction.

B.  The total amount of cement included and the distance over which the materials are moved.

C.  The historical popularity of adobe and rammed earth in different regions of the Global South.

A.  Cities are prioritizing the profit from real estate over the long – term goals of their environmental strategies.

B.  Urban authorities have started integrating residential development into their broader strategies for climate change mitigation.

C.  Real estate markets are currently the only sector capable of meeting the strict CO₂ emission targets set by the IPCC.

D.  The IPCC reports suggest that climate plans should focus exclusively on industrial emissions rather than housing projects.

Question 39: Which of the following can most likely be inferred from the passage?

A.  Conventional building materials will soon be completely replaced by earth blocks in major European cities.

B.  The transition to earth houses is driven more by practical necessity and resilience than by mere aesthetic trends.
