Directions: The given passage is followed by several possible inferences which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth of falsity. Mark answer as

1. If the inference is ˜definitely true", i.e. it properly follows from the statement of facts given.
2. If the inference is ˜probably true" though not ˜definitely true" in the light of the facts given.
3. If the data are inadequate, i.e. from the facts given you cannot say whether the inference is likely to be true or false.
4. If the inference is ˜probably false", though not ˜definitely false" in the light of the facts given.
5. If the inference is ˜definitely false", i.e. it cannot possibly be drawn from the facts given for it contradicts the given facts.

There is a clear link between degraded forests and poverty. It is estimated that one billion of the world's poorest people in about 30 heavily deforested countries would be alleviated from poverty if they are given government support for managing neighbouring public forest land and sharing benefits within their communities.

The forests face even shakier future with the global population expected to grow by 50 per cent in the next 50 years. To accommodate a growing population's need of more land for food production we should be making better use of the degraded land through ˜Evergreen Revolution".
