Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the questions that are based on the passage.

Bananas, apples, and avocados continue to ripen after they are picked. Cherries, blackberries, and grapes do not. The difference between climacteric fruits (the former) and non-climacteric fruits (the latter) matters to fruit growers and greengrocers, who must make sure their wares are in tip-top condition when they arrive at the marketplace. But how those differences originally came about remains unclear.

Two biologists of the University of Tokyo offer a suggestion. Fruits, they observe, exist to solve a problem faced by all plants—how best to spread their progeny around. Wrapping their seeds in a sugary pulp to provide a tasty meal serves as a way to get animals to do this for them. They do, however, need to make sure that their fruits favour the animals most likely to do the distributing. The biologists propose that climacterism, or its absence, is a way to achieve this. If ground-dwelling animals are the main distributors, then the continuing ripening of fallen fruit (i.e., climacterism) is beneficial. If, by contrast, those distributors are arboreal or aerial, and so can feed on unfallen fruit, then non-climacteric fruits will do well.

  1. According to the passage, the interest in the difference between climacteric and non-climacteric fruits is in the
  1. public health context.
  2. commercial context.
  3. environmental context.
  4. gastronomical context.

  1. of all kinds need to be studied, not just those consumed by humans.
  2. have the same problems in propagation as other plants.
  3. and other plant species’ propagation cannot be studied accurately.
  4. are better protected than other plant species and can propagate easily.
  1. The origins of the distinguishing characteristics between the two types of fruits, climacteric and non-climacteric are
  1. clear now as a result of this research.
  2. nebulous in spite of research.
  3. trivial at this stage.
  4. dependent on researcher observation.
  1. The study has been based on
  1. wild fruits consumed by animals.
  2. fruits sourced by greengrocers.
  3. fruits available at the University of Tokyo.
  4. fruits that are consumed by humans.
  1. Which one of the following options means “arboreal” and “camouflage”?

  2. Thirty-six varieties of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits were eaten predominantly either by ground-dwellers, or by arboreal or aerial animals respectively.
    According to the passage,
  1. Finding (i) provides supplementary evidence and Finding (ii) provides main evidence confirming the hypothesis of the biologists.
  2. Both Findings (i) and (ii) provide main evidence confirming the hypothesis of the biologists.
  3. Finding (i) provides main evidence and Finding (ii) provides supplementary evidence confirming the hypothesis of the biologists.
