Recently, a newspaper article mourned the total disappearance of the common house sparrow. This was a comment on the city's perceptible move towards edging out the flora and fauna of the city.

Possibly the greenery of this place has created a new habitat for these birds which like their proximity to human beings, and have made a comeback.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below
In this passage Ria and Gargi give their opinions about a new painting by Macrcello Vasquez. Ria, "The new painting is spectacular! It is certainly the best work ever completed by Marcello Vasquez. I like the new painting is large. It almost covers the entire wall! Second, the painting is exexpensive. Normally a painting is inexpensive. Normally, a painting like this would cost thousands of dollars. But this painting costs less the %500. Thirs, the painting is colourful. Red and green dominate the canvas, peppered with bright spots of yellow.
Gargi, The new painting is horrendous! Marcello Vasquez should be ashamed of his work. I haven't seen a painting this bad in a long time. I dislike the new painting for several reasons. First, the painting is far too large. It almost covers the entire wall! I think small paintings are between than large ones. Second, the painting is inexpensive. This tells me that Vasquez must have been unable to sell the painting for a higher price. Now, he is desperate. As a result, it appears he is trying to give the painting away. Third, the painting is colourful. Although, I usually like a painting to be colourful, I strongly dislike the colours Vasquez uses. To put it plainly, the combination of red, green and yellow is ugly.
