NTSE Stage 2 MAT 2015 Question Paper

Directions(Q. 51 – 55) : Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it. The loudest public food fight right now is about GMOs, or genetically modified organisms. Scientists add genes to corn, soya beans, and other plants, usually to protect the crops from insects or hebicides. Those who support this say that the genetic help makes crops easier to grow and cheaper. But many consumers and those who keep an eye on food-safety worry that GMOs pose an unnatural threat to our health and the environment. These opponents say that GMOs have been linked to depression, allergies and even cancer. Unless we have been eating foods labelled 100 per cent organic which means that it must be GMO-free - we probably have GMOs in our body system already!
