Question
1. Picture a termite colony occupying a tall
mud hump on an African plain.
A. Hungry predators often invade the
colony and unsettle the balance.
B. The colony flourishes only if the
portion of soldiers to workers remain roughly the same, so that the queen and
the workers can be protected by the soldiers, and the queen and the soldiers
can be serviced by workers.
C. But its fortunes are presently
restored, because the immobile queen, walled in well below ground level, lays
eggs not only in large enough numbers, but also in the varying proportions
required.
D. The hump is alive with worker
termites and soldier termites going about their distinct kind of business.
6. How can we account for her
mysterious ability to respond like this to events on the distant surface?

Answer: Option B
:
B
Option (b)
Statement (D) starts the paragraph by explaining the
business of worker and soldier termites. Statement (B) pay attention to the
needs of the soldier and worker proportionality (A) describes the role of the
predator. Statement (C) concludes telling quantity of eggs laid by queen.
Alternate
Explanation:-
In the statement number "6", pronoun "her" is used for
the queen. This means that the statement just before statement "6" must have
queen as the subject. Only statement "C" fulfills this criteria. Statement
"C" is the second last statement of the given passage. Hence we eliminate
answer option "C" and "D". Statement B
after statement 1 seems illogical because statement B describes the number of
soldiers and workers and how they making sure the colony works properly. The
name soldiers and workers must be discussed before statement B. Going through
the answer option we find that only statement D fulfills this criteria. Hence
we have a combination "DB". Going through the answer options we find that
only answer option B has this combination. Hence answer option "B" is the
answer.
