Various studies have shown that our forested and hilly regions and, in general, areas where biodiversity — as reflected in the variety of flora — is high, are the places where poverty appears to be high. And these same areas are also the ones where educational performance seems to be poor. Therefore, it may be surmised that, even disregarding poverty status, richness in biodiversity goes hand in hand with educational backwardness. Which one of the following statements, if true, can be said to best provide supporting evidence for the surmise mentioned in the passage?

a. In regions where there is little variety in flora, educational performance is seen to be as good as in regions with high variety in flora, where poverty levels are high.

b. Regions which show high biodiversity also exhibit poor education performance, at low levels of poverty.

c. Regions which show high biodiversity reveal high levels of poverty and poor educational performance.

d. In regions where there is low biodiversity, at all levels of poverty, educational performance is seen to be good.

Developed countries have made adequate provisions for social security for senior citizens. State insurers (as well as private ones) offer medicare and pension benefits to people who can no longer earn. In India, with the collapse of the joint family system, the traditional shelter of the elderly has disappeared. And the state faced with a financial crunch is not in a position to provide social security. So, it is advisable that the working population give serious thought to building a financial base for itself. Which one of the following, if it were to happen, weakens the conclusions drawn in the above passage the most?

a. The investible income of the working population, as a proportion of its total income, will grow in the future.

b. The insurance sector is underdeveloped and trends indicate that it will be extensively privatized in the future.

c. India is on a path of development that will take it to a developed country status, with all its positive and negative implications.

d. If the working population builds a stronger financial base, there will be a revival of the joint family system.
