Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Suwori Festival, consider the following statements:
- It is celebrated in Assam during the Rongali Bihu season.
- It is exclusively associated with a single tribal community.
- Hana Ghora dance is one of its key cultural highlights.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: The Suwori Festival is celebrated in Assam during April, coinciding with Rongali Bihu, marking the Assamese New Year and agricultural cycle.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: It is a “melting pot” festival involving multiple communities like Rabha, Bodo, Garo, Koch-Rajbongshi, and others, not limited to one group.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Hana Ghora dance, involving bamboo horse structures and mythological themes related to Lord Shiva, is the centerpiece of the festival.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to forest carbon sequestration projections in India, consider the following statements:
- High-emission scenarios may significantly increase forest carbon storage.
- Biodiversity hotspots like the Western Ghats show the highest increase in biomass.
- CO₂ fertilization enhances plant growth and water-use efficiency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Under high-emission scenarios, studies project up to ~97% increase in forest biomass due to increased precipitation and CO₂ fertilization effects.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Biodiversity hotspots like the Himalayas and Western Ghats show lower relative increases due to ecological saturation and climatic constraints.
• Statement 3 is Correct: CO₂ fertilization improves photosynthesis and water-use efficiency, thereby enhancing plant growth and contributing to carbon sequestration.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Under high-emission scenarios, studies project up to ~97% increase in forest biomass due to increased precipitation and CO₂ fertilization effects.

• Statement 3 is Correct: CO₂ fertilization improves photosynthesis and water-use efficiency, thereby enhancing plant growth and contributing to carbon sequestration. -
Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to microplastics in the Sundarbans ecosystem, consider the following statements:
- Microplastics act as a new source of carbon in aquatic ecosystems.
- Plastispheres refer to microbial communities living on plastic surfaces.
- Microplastics enhance the efficiency of mangroves in carbon sequestration.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: Microplastics release dissolved organic carbon and biogenic carbon, acting as a “novel carbon reservoir” in aquatic ecosystems like the Sundarbans.
• Statement 2 is Correct: Plastispheres are microbial communities that colonize plastic particles, influencing biogeochemical cycles.
• Statement 3 is Incorrect: Microplastics reduce the efficiency of mangroves by disrupting natural carbon cycles and ecological balance.Incorrect
Answer: (a)

• Statement 1 is Correct: Microplastics release dissolved organic carbon and biogenic carbon, acting as a “novel carbon reservoir” in aquatic ecosystems like the Sundarbans.
• Statement 2 is Correct: Plastispheres are microbial communities that colonize plastic particles, influencing biogeochemical cycles.
• Statement 3 is Incorrect: Microplastics reduce the efficiency of mangroves by disrupting natural carbon cycles and ecological balance. -
Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Ethanol 85 (E85) fuel, consider the following statements:
- It contains up to 85% ethanol blended with petrol.
- It can be used in conventional internal combustion engines without modification.
- It helps reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: E85 is a high-blend fuel consisting of up to 85% ethanol and 15% petrol, significantly higher than current E20 blending levels.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Standard engines cannot use E85 due to ethanol’s corrosive nature; special flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) are required.
• Statement 3 is Correct: E85 enhances energy security by reducing reliance on imported crude oil and supporting domestic ethanol production.Incorrect
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: E85 is a high-blend fuel consisting of up to 85% ethanol and 15% petrol, significantly higher than current E20 blending levels.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: Standard engines cannot use E85 due to ethanol’s corrosive nature; special flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) are required.
• Statement 3 is Correct: E85 enhances energy security by reducing reliance on imported crude oil and supporting domestic ethanol production. -
Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), consider the following statements:
- It aims to balance ecological, economic, and social objectives.
- It is exclusively focused on conservation and restricts economic activities.
- Odisha is the first Indian state to implement MSP in a structured framework.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is Correct: MSP follows a “triple bottom line” approach balancing ecological sustainability, economic development, and social needs.
• Statement 2 is Incorrect: MSP does not restrict economic activity; instead, it optimizes and allocates marine space for sustainable use like fisheries, ports, and tourism.
• Statement 3 is Correct: Odisha has become the first state in India to adopt MSP formally, aiming to develop a resilient blue economy.Incorrect
Answer: (b)
