Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below: (10 × 1 = 10 Marks)

Nature is a magnificent teacher, offering profound lessons in survival, growth, and resilience. Consider the lifecycle of a forest. It does not grow in isolation; it thrives on a delicate web of interdependence where towering oaks shield delicate ferns, and fallen leaves enrich the soil for new seedlings. Growth in nature is never rushed; it follows an absolute timeline of seasons, showing that patience is key to lasting strength. Furthermore, ecosystems adapt beautifully to unexpected threats. When a fire sweeps through a forest, it appears to be complete destruction. However, nature triggers hidden seed cases that only open under extreme heat, paving the way for a stronger ecosystem. Human societies can learn a great deal from this silent process of renewal, realizing that challenges often clear the path for fresh opportunities and deeper integration.
