The high death toll from the severe dust storms that lashed the region was mainly attributed to the intense winds, which surprised even scientists and meteorologists. But apart from the immediate damage to life and property, drastic changes in air quality from the dust engulfing the region affected far more people with potential implications for human health stated a team of researchers who analysed the impact of the spell of dust storms that struck the region that month. They reported increases in particulate matter, mainly in Delhi, and urged for an early warning system.<\/p>\n<p>Dust storms commonly occur in the Indo-Gangetic Plains &#8211; the fertile plains in northern India that stretch all the way to the East &#8211; from March to May, the pre-monsoon season. Westerly winds typically bring loose sand and soil particles, picked up from the Arabian Peninsula or the Thar\u00a0 Desert in North-Western India, to the Indo-Gangetic Plains. The dust tends to worsen air quality over the Indo-Gangetic Plains, home to around 900 million people, which can have far-reaching effects on human health. While dust storms are a regular feature in the region, the May 2018 dust storms specifically had a death toll of about 100 people, with around 200 people injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are concerned that the dust impacts the health of people who get exposed,\u201d said a senior professor. However, he also observed that scattered rains occurring soon after the dust storms tend to clean up the dust, improving air quality. During October-November, densely populated cities like\u00a0 Delhi and Kanpur in the Indo-Gangetic Plains are vulnerable to wind-borne long-range air pollution from crop residue burning in the North, and now this study \u201cshows the effect of dust storms during the March-May time frame,\u201d Sarkar pointed out. \u201cThis really puts the Indo-Gangetic valley in a\u00a0 unique spot in terms of it being targeted by these different hazardous conditions which are mostly\u00a0 outsourced from other areas.\u201d<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5) Dust storms in Delhi are the cause of concern as they-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>(1) cause strong winds.<br \/>\n(2) affect Delhi alone.<br \/>\n(3) challenge scientists.<br \/>\n(4) are a health hazard.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: &#8220;4&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q6)\u00a0 Dust storms are caused by-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) winds from the North.<br \/>\n(2) winds from the South.<br \/>\n(3) Westerly winds.<br \/>\n(4) Easterly winds.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: &#8220;3&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q7) The notable fact about pollution in Oct to Nov is that <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>(1) Westerly winds bring loose sand and soil particles<br \/>\n(2) dust storms are a regular feature.<br \/>\n(3) it is caused by crop burning in North India.<br \/>\n(4) it is caused by the winds from the Thar Desert.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: &#8220;3&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q8)<\/strong> <strong>By saying, \u2018This really puts the Indo-Gangetic valley in a unique spot\u2019 the writer refers to the fact that-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) the Indo- Gangetic valley receives its pollution from other areas or factors.<br \/>\n(2) the valley is affected by pollution caused by hazardous industries.<br \/>\n(3) intense winds in the valley surprise even scientists and meteorologists.<br \/>\n(4) studies find that only the valley faces pollution all year round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: &#8220;1&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q9) Choose the correct sequence in which events take place \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) Strong winds- poor air quality -dust storms- &#8211; death and disease<br \/>\n(2) Dust storms- poor air quality- strong winds -death and disease<br \/>\n(3) Dust storms &#8211; death and disease-strong winds- poor air quality<br \/>\n(4) Strong winds- dust storms- poor air quality- death and disease<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: &#8220;4&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/cloze-test\/?ref=banking-blogs\"><em><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Practice More Cloze Test Here<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Directions for Questions 10 to 14: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with words chosen from options given.<\/strong><br \/>\nUncertainty looms over the revival of Naini Lake, a water body in the middle of Model Town in North\u00a0 Delhi, due to (1) in the opinions of residents and local bodies regarding its desilting and (2).
