Two fifths of the planets most significant marine environment, a stunning expanse of coral reefs stretching across south-east Asia, has been lost and the rest is likely to disappear by the end of the century, a World Wildlife Fund report warns. Pollution, over-fishing and climate change are destroying the area known as the Coral Triangle, which covers an area about half the size of the United States and is home to more than 30 per cent of the worlds corals and more than 35 per cent of coral-reef fish around 3,000 species. Practices such as deforestation, coastal reclamation, destructive fishing and the pumping of pollution and sewage into the sea has already led to the destruction of about 40 per cent of coral reefs and mangroves in this unique environment. Therefore, if such practices are unchecked, half the species in the Coral Triangle will continue to disappear at a rate of 1-2 per cent a year.
Which of the following can be inferred?
Severe neglect, is conducive to various Eco-destructive practices in the Coral Triangle. This predicts a dark future for many.
Some attempts have been made to control pollution in the coastal areas.
Coral reefs and mangroves cannot survive in a polluted environment.
Continued carbon emissions will make the region drought stricken. This predicts a dark future.
About 100 million people depend on the mangroves and sea grass beds for food and building

Ask an American schoolchild what he or she is learning in school these days and you might even get a reply, provided you ask it in Spanish. But don't bother, here's the answer: Americans nowadays are not learning any of the things that we learned in our day, like reading and writing. Apparently these are consideredfusty old subjects, invented by white males to oppress women and minorities. What are they learning? In a Vermont college town I found the answer sitting in a toy store book rack, next to typical kids' books like 'Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy Is Dysfunctional'. It's a teacher's guide called 'Happy To Be Me', subtitled 'BuildingSelfEsteem'. Self-esteem, as it turns out, is a big subject in American classrooms. Many American schools see building it as important as teaching reading and writing. They call it "whole language" teaching, borrowing terminology fromthegranola people to compete in the education marketplace. No one ever spent a moment building my self-esteem when I was in school. In fact, from the day I first stepped inside a classroom my self-esteem was one big demolition site. All that mattered was "the subject," be it geography, history, or mathematics. I was praised when I remembered that "near", "fit", "friendly", "pleasing", "like" and their opposites took the dative case in Latin. I was reviled when I forgot what a cosine was good for. Generally I lived my school years beneath a torrent ofcastigation so consistent I eventuallyceased to hear it, as people who live near the sea eventually stop hearing the waves. Schools have changed. Revilingis out, for one thing. More important, subjects have changed. Whereas I learned English, modern kids learn something called "language skills." Whereas I learned writing, modern kids learn something called "communication". Communication, the book tells us, is seven per cent words, 23 per cent facial expression, 20 per cent tone of voice, and 50 per cent body language. So this column, with its carefully chosen words, would earn me at most a grade of seven per cent. That is, if the school even gave out something as oppressive and demanding as grades. The result is that, in place of English classes, American children are getting a course in How to Win Friends and Influence People. Consider the new attitude toward journal writing: I remember one high school English class when we were required to keep a journal. The idea was to emulate those great writers who confided in diaries, searching their souls and honing their critical thinking on paper. 'Happy To Be Me' states that journals are a great way for students to get in touch with their feelings. Tell students they can write one sentence or a whole page. Reassure them that no one, not even you, will read what they write. After the unit, hopefully all students will be feeling good about themselves and will want to share some of their entries with the class." There was a time when no self-respecting book for English teachers would use "great" or "hopefully" that way. Moreover, back then the purpose of English courses (an antique term for "Unit") was not to help students "feel good about themselves." Which is good, because all that reviling didn't make me feel particularly good about anything
Q. According to the passage, the author implies that
self-criticism has gone too far
there is a dumbing down of American education
this column doesnot meet the demaning evaluating criteria of today
communication is a more comprehensive category then language skills
