Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the statements that follow by choosing the correct options from the given ones:
1. Some teenagers live in a world of their own. Various causes can be found for this state of affairs, but the first in importance is clearly the lack of parental authority in the home. This depended, more than a century ago, upon the convention of the husband being master in his own house. The wife gave him formal obedience, realising that upon this dependent her authority, in turn, over the children. She was likely to see much more of them and her own efforts to maintain discipline might thus be weakened by familiarity. It was always her best plan, therefore, to fall back on the authority of an absent husband, saying, 'Your father has forbidden it,' often with the inference that she herself would have been more indulgent. It was only by accepting her husband's sway that she could gain obedience from the young. The decision might be hers but the unpopularity was his, the more easily borne in that he might not be there. To precepts about subordination she thus added the potent force of is example. Children and servants were in this way taught to  know their place.

2. In the twentieth century children became fewer and the feminist revolt was the result. With discipline no longer the chief problem, the pattern of the family life underwent change. Granted a small number of children carefully spaced out, there might, it was thought, be time to reason with them. There might even be time to read books on child psychology. Father's word had no longer the authority of holy writ and given the Bible itself was relegated to a high shelf quite unsuitable for the young. Why should women access their subordinate role? Why indeed? With some hesitation their claim to equality was conceded. Among the intelligent there would henceforth be an easier relationship, a more than causal comradeship and co-operation with love to take the place of fear. Married women and retained their identity and some of them even pursued separate careers; and most men welcomed the change, readily dropping their role of infallible tyrant in the home.

3. What people were slow to observe was that the emancipation of the wife destroyed the parent's authority over the children. The mother did not exemplify the obedience upon which she still tried to insist. There was more room now for disagreement between to parents, enabling the child to appeal from one to the other, eventually ignoring both. In bringing the man down from his pedestal the wife and mother deprived herself, in fact, of the means of discipline.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the statements that follow by choosing the correct options from the given ones:
1. Roads have a negative impact on chimpanzee populations that can extend for more than 17 km, a new report shows. A team led by the University of Exeter examined the impact of major and minor roads on wild western chimpanzee numbers in eight African countries in which they live.

2. Chimpanzee population density drops consistently from the edges of these areas to a lowest value at the roads. The situation in untouched areas is hard to assess because less than five percent of western chimpanzees range is outside the road-effect zones identified in the study.

3. The human population in West Africa is growing rapidly and chimpanzees face mounting pressure from the expansion of settlements and infrastructure. Previous research suggests that roads dramatically reduce western chimpanzee numbers, rather than simply displacing the animals. Just 4.3 p.c. of their range remains unaffected by roads, so they don't have anywhere else to go and in any case migration over long distances is uncommon.

4. Western chimpanzees are highly territorial, so attempting to move could lead to conflict with neighbouring groups. The study did not directly investigate the reasons why roads affect chimpanzee numbers, but the researchers highlight several possible explanations. As well as direct impacts like roadkill and noise, they say roads open up unexploited areas to industries such as mining and agriculture which often reduce of remove forest habits.

5. Roads can also restrict chimpanzee movements, dividing population and causing genetic isolation. Hunting too, is a persistent threat to western chimpanzees and roads provide easier access to hunters. "When roads appear, so do all sorts of human activities"

6. Regulations in many countries require that wildlife should be considered before new roads are built, but until now the size of the impact area affecting chimpanzees had not been estimated, The researchers hope their findings will help to bring about more effective guidelines to mitigate road impacts. They will also ensure the true costs of infrastructure development on the critically endangered chimpanzees are fully considered by policy-makers.

7. "Our great ape cousins face so many threats, from habit change to hunting to disease. The impact of infrastructure development is much larger than it was ever anticipated and is truly worrying. But we can't give up. We must do everything we can to ensure their continual survival. I can't imagine a world where human are the only great apes left."

Study the following statements and choose the correct one:
(a) Chimpanzees in Western African are rather safe.
(b) Effect of human population on the apes is negligible.
(c) Chimpanzees are territorial so they have travel long distances.
(d) Chimpanzee population increases if their habitat is away from the roads. VIEW SOLUTION

Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the statements that follow by choosing the correct options from the given ones:
1. Roads have a negative impact on chimpanzee populations that can extend for more than 17 km, a new report shows. A team led by the University of Exeter examined the impact of major and minor roads on wild western chimpanzee numbers in eight African countries in which they live.

2. Chimpanzee population density drops consistently from the edges of these areas to a lowest value at the roads. The situation in untouched areas is hard to assess because less than five percent of western chimpanzees range is outside the road-effect zones identified in the study.

3. The human population in West Africa is growing rapidly and chimpanzees face mounting pressure from the expansion of settlements and infrastructure. Previous research suggests that roads dramatically reduce western chimpanzee numbers, rather than simply displacing the animals. Just 4.3 p.c. of their range remains unaffected by roads, so they don't have anywhere else to go and in any case migration over long distances is uncommon.

4. Western chimpanzees are highly territorial, so attempting to move could lead to conflict with neighbouring groups. The study did not directly investigate the reasons why roads affect chimpanzee numbers, but the researchers highlight several possible explanations. As well as direct impacts like roadkill and noise, they say roads open up unexploited areas to industries such as mining and agriculture which often reduce of remove forest habits.

5. Roads can also restrict chimpanzee movements, dividing population and causing genetic isolation. Hunting too, is a persistent threat to western chimpanzees and roads provide easier access to hunters. "When roads appear, so do all sorts of human activities"
