    Question

    Directions : A sentence is given in the following question. In the options, there are four passages. Find out, from which passage, can the sentence be inferred.

    Inference- The U. N. health agency says nearly everybody in the world breathes air that doesn’t meet its standards for air quality and this causes respiratory- and blood-flow problems and lead to millions of preventable deaths each year.

    A One of the best overall “indicators” of a healthy or unhealthy city is air quality. This is because air pollution levels are typically low in well-planned cities with good transport systems, walkable streets and ample green spaces to filter the air. And air pollution levels soar in urban settings that prioritize road transport over pedestrians and cyclists, and that allow uncontrolled sprawl in large, grey, unbroken blocs of asphalt and concrete. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B People live in cities to be close to employment and educational opportunities and services, and cities can be wonderful places for social interaction and access to cultural activities. When cities are built using good planning principles, they can also be communities that foster health and well-being. Think of the cities or the neighbourhoods that you have particularly enjoyed living in or visiting – and how such places looked, felt or even "smelt". Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C WHO said 99% of the global population breathes air that exceeds its air-quality limits and is often rife with particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the veins and arteries and cause disease. Air quality is poorest in WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Asia regions, followed by Africa. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D WHO and ILO recommend developing and implementing sustainable programmes for managing occupational health and safety for health workers at national, sub-national and health facility levels. Such programmes should cover all occupational hazards – infectious, ergonomic, physical, chemical, and psycho-social. The guide also outlines the roles that governments, employers, workers and occupational health services should play in promoting and protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of health workers. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The inference talks about two main points- i- most of the people in the world breathing low quality air. ii- health problems caused because of low quality air. In option 3, both these are discussed. Option 1 talks about urban space and air pollution. Option 2 talks about cities and pollution. Option 4 talks about safety of health workers.
