Section II Reading 

DIRECTIONS (Qs. 26 & 27): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The green house effect is the heating of the surface of a planet or moon due to the presence of an atmosphere containing gases that absorb and emit
infrared radiation. Thus, greenhouse gases trap heat within the surfacetroposphere system. This mechanism is fundamentally different from that of an actual greenhouse, which works by isolating warm air inside the structure so that heat is not lost by convection. The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858, and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. In the absence of the greenhouse effect and an atmosphere, the Earth’s average surface temperature of 14°C (57°F) could be as low as “18°C (“0.4 °F), the black body temperature of the Earth. Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), a recent warming of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of an “enhanced greenhouse effect” mainly due to human-produced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases.

(a) They trap heat and decrease temperature
(b) They trap heat and increase temperature
(c) They trap heat and thus control the temperature
(d) None of these
Answer : (b) They trap heat and increases temperature.

27. How green house effect has enhanced?
(a) Because of human activities
(b) Because of natural phenomenon
(c) Because of hot climate
(d) None of these
Answer : (a) Because of human activities
