Discussion
As mentioned in para 1, what is the series of events that are triggered by climate change ?
(a) increase in prices of food items
(b) detrimental effect on nutritional security
(c) extreme weather conditions
(d) reduced food consumption
Answer: B
The series of events is (c) extreme weather conditions, then (a) increase in prices of food items, then (d) reduced food consumption, then (b) detrimental effect on nutritional security.
Paragraph 1 starts with extreme weather events and erratic seasons, which cut farmers' earnings and agricultural output and add to food inflation (higher prices). It then says that high prices could make people slash consumption, 'which adversely impacts nutritional security'. That fixes the order c, a, d, b.
The other orders put an effect before its cause, for example reduced consumption before the rise in prices, or the harm to nutrition before the reduction in consumption.
