Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
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. In the rapid urbanization, multi-storied apartments grew and large scale felling of the trees became necessary. Last week, however, seven pairs of these sparrows were spotted in a suburb. 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. A systematic development of trees and shrubs all over the city woo the absentee house sparrow to our midst.
