Question

The human race is spread all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics. The people of whom it is made up eat different kinds of food, partly according to the climate in which they live, and partly according to the kind of food which their country produces. In hot climates; meat and fat are not much needed; but in the Arctic regions they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the body. Thus, in India, people live chiefly on different kinds of grains, eggs, milk, or sometimes fish and meat. In Europe people eat more meat and less grain. In the Arctic regions, where no grains and fruits are produced, the Eskimo and others races live almost entirely on meat and fish.
Four alternative summaries are given above each text. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text

• A. Food eaten by people in different regions of the world depends on the climate and produce of the region, and varies from meat and fish in the Arctic to predominantly grains in the tropics.
• B. Hot climates require people to eat grains while cold regions require people to eat meat and fish.
• C. In hot countries people eat mainly grains while in the Arctic, they eat meat and fish because they cannot grow grains.
• D. While people in Arctic regions like meat and fish and those in hot regions like India prefer mainly grains, they have to change what they eat depending on the local climate and the local produce.

Hint:

Look for options that describe the relationship between climate, food habits, and regional production.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sequence begins with a general description of how the human race is spread across the globe. Then, the fact that food choices depend on local climate and produce is explained. This leads to the idea that different climates (hot vs. cold) influence the types of food people consume, such as grains in hot regions and meat/fish in cold regions. Thus, the correct sequence is: \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
