Read the text to answer question.

     The formula for calculating people’s environmental footprint is simple, but widely misunderstood: Impact = Population x Affluence x Technology (I = PAT). The global rate of consumption growth, before the pandemic, was 3% a year. Population growth is 1%. Some people assume this means that the rise in population bears one-third of the responsibility for increased consumption. But population growth is overwhelmingly concentrated among the world’s poorest people, who have scarcely any A or T to multiply their P.
     Yet it is widely used as a blanket explanation of environment breakdown. Panic about population growth enables the people most responsible for the impacts of rising consumption (the affluent) to blame those who are least responsible.

(George Monbiot. www.theguardian.com, 26.08.2020. Adapted.)
A
population growth has proven to have overwhelming impact on environmental degradation.
B
population growth is the main determinant in consumption growth.
C
the wealthy should be most directly accountable for global ecological damage.
D
the poor should be most directly accountable for global ecological damage.
E
poor access to technology and other resources reduces environmental breakdown.

(George Monbiot. www.theguardian.com, 26.08.2020. Adapted.)
A
is inadequate because it does not capture all sides of the relation between population growth and environmental degradation.
B
has proved inefficient to properly relate world’s population and ecological damage during the present pandemic times.
C
has been wrongly used as the only explanation of causes for ecological breakdown.
D
has demonstrated that a 3% rise in the world population represents 1% of the responsibility for consumption growth.
E
is often too plainly interpreted as equating population growth with an equivalent increase in ecological damage and in consumption.

     We are at the beginning of a long road to rethinking and rebuilding supply chain models to encompass not just financial priorities but also business operations continuity in the most trying of circumstances.

They are smart people at the core of the world’s most sophisticated and valuable systems of manufacture, shipment, and inventory, and yet many of their supply systems staggered in the past few months – the byproduct of reliance on old business models.

The American embassy escaped the blast in Beirut’s port unscathed. Many Western countries either have missions in the city centre or diplomats who live in the area. The wife of the Dutch ambassador was killed, as was a German diplomat. But America’s embassy sits in the mountain village of Awkar, five miles from the port. Security measures are onerous, a hangover from the bombing of the American embassy in Beirut in 1983, which killed 63 people. It took a week before the ambassador, Dorothy Shea, a career diplomat, toured the port. Even on social media it has been far quieter than other foreign powers.

(www.economist.com, 13.08.2020. Adapted.)

The descriptions in the paragraph

A
underscore the extent of the damage brought about by a bombing in Beirut last August.
B
display differences in approach between American diplomacy and other countries’ in the moments shortly following the explosion.
C
depict covert and behind-the-scenes divergences between the American and the Lebanese governments.
D
accuse the American government of omission for fear of a new threat against American citizens.
E
point out the low visibility of America’s diplomacy in the Beirut’s event due to both, the Embassy’s location and attitude.

Read the text to answer question.

         It wasn’t the first attempt to deter foreign students, but it could have been the most disruptive. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency sought to bar visas for international students at colleges that offer only virtual instruction. Students on existing visas would have had to transfer to a school that offers at least some in-person teaching if they wanted to remain in the U.S.
     The policy swiftly brought together a broad coalition of colleges, states and businesses that opposed it. “The overwhelming negative reaction to this proposal in a very short period of time shows that the administration really struck a nerve with this,” says Terry Hartle, from the American Council on Education. “It’s unprecedented for that many colleges and universities to file suit against the federal government.”

(Bloomberg Businessweek, 20.07.2020. Adapted.)
A
the government has backed down from its proposal to bar visas for foreign students.
B
the barrier against international students is still a possibility.
C
foreign students have no alternative but to transfer to a new school.
D
impeding foreign students to attend school in the U.S. will disrupt their lives.
E
the veto of the proposal resulted from coordinated action by colleges, states and the police.

Shimmering white and gracefully statuesque, the Mount Washington Hotel is a granite fortress, a manmade anomaly among the raw wilderness of the surrounding White Mountains in remote northern New Hampshire, U.S. Even to this day, the hotel is geographically secured by 800,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest around it. This was the main reason why the Hotel was chosen for a World War Two meeting – a meeting that shaped present-day global economic policies.

The aliens among us

     Humans think of themselves as the world’s apex predators. Hence the silence of sabre-tooth tigers, the absence of moas from New Zealand and the long list of endangered megafauna. But sars-cov-2 shows how people can also end up as prey. Viruses have caused a litany of modern pandemics, from Covid-19, to hiv/aids to the influenza outbreak in 1918-20, which killed many more people than the first world war. Before that, the colonisation of the Americas by Europeans was abetted – and perhaps made possible – by epidemics of smallpox, measles and influenza brought unwittingly by the invaders, which annihilated many of the original inhabitants.
