Q22. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
I. Green energy production can be linked to/integrated with the climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
II. Effects of climate change are much more severe in coastal and mountainous regions.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Detailed Solution
Assumption I is valid. The passage mentions that "selected parts of peninsular India and offshore areas offer great opportunities for harnessing wind power" and that "these various aspects need to be considered for developing clear and sustainable goals for the future." This directly links the potential of green energy sources (like wind power) to the formulation of climate change strategies, implying their integration.
Assumption II is invalid. While the passage notes that Himalayan regions have "unique challenges" and coastal states need to protect their shores, it does not state that the effects of climate change are "much more severe" in these regions compared to others.
It highlights their distinct vulnerabilities and opportunities, not a comparative severity. This question tests the ability to identify valid assumptions directly supported or implied by the text, avoiding exaggerations or external comparisons not made in the passage.
