Comprehension - General Questions

Read the passage and answer the questions. Honey bees are vital to agriculture. As they collect nectar, they carry pollen from flower to flower, which allows many crops to produce fruit and seeds. It is estimated that about one-third of the food we eat depends on pollinators such as bees. In recent decades, however, bee populations in many regions have declined. Scientists point to several causes: the loss of wildflower habitats, the use of certain pesticides, diseases and parasites, and changing weather patterns. To help bees, farmers are being encouraged to plant strips of wildflowers, reduce harmful sprays and keep hedgerows. Even city residents can help by growing flowering plants on balconies and in gardens.

Read the passage and answer the questions. When Anil started his first job as a software tester, he thought his role was simply to find bugs. Within a few weeks he realised that good testing begins much earlier. By reading the requirements carefully and asking questions in planning meetings, he could point out unclear or conflicting requirements before a single line of code was written. Fixing a misunderstanding at that stage took minutes; fixing the same problem after release could take days and annoy customers. His manager noticed that the team's releases became smoother, and Anil was asked to train new testers in this approach.
