SECTION-I

Analyze the following passage and provide appropriate answers for questions 1 – 4.

The water cycle technically known as the hydrologic cycle is the continuous circulation of water within the Earth’s hydrosphere, and is driven by solar radiation. This includes the atmosphere,land, surface water and groundwater. As water moves through the cycle, it changes state betweenliquid, solid, and gas phases. Water moves from compartment to compartment, such as from river to ocean, by the physical processes of evaporation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurfacelow. Movement of water within the water cycle is the subject of the field of hydrology. Thewater cycle is the process that all water takes. It includes precipitation which is the falling of water in any form to earth, infiltration which is the process in which water is absorbed into thesoil (it may also flow off the surface called surface run off) evaporation or transpiration whichis either when water is heated and turns into water vapour or when plants use water and giveit off as water vapour, condensation which is when the water vapour cools and forms clouds.This process is then repeated over and over again.

1. What is the central idea of the passage?

1] The passage talks about how rainfall is generated and how it affects the water cycle.2] The main idea behind the passage is to establish the importance of the water cycle to maintain
