Solution and Explanation
Step 2: Tishani Doshi’s Realisation - She witnesses melting glaciers and disintegrating ice shelves, alarming signs of climate change. - The experience makes her understand that human actions directly impact the planet. - She realizes that Antarctica, untouched by human civilization, is the best place to study environmental changes and predict their effects globally.
Step 3: Conclusion The visit serves as a wake-up call, reinforcing the urgency of sustainable living and conservation efforts to protect Earth’s future.

Questions Asked in CBSE CLASS XII exam
Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
