Production of corn and Soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human right campaigners are worried that this will lead destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both food stuffs and sources of fuel. Recently, the UN Warned that bio-fuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow bio-fuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important bio-fuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.What is the effect of increased production of bio-fuels?

[{"text": "The crystal clear, blue water and the magnificent sun make the Caribbean island of Saint Maarten a favorite vacation spot, one that is popular with North Americans during their winter holidays from December through March, as well as with South Americans and Europeans from April through August. The French and Dutch settled on the island in the 1600s, and to this day, the island is divided between the two of them. The French capital is Marigot; the Dutch capital is Philipsburg. Tourists soon discover that St. Maarten has an intriguing history. Ancient artifacts found on the island date back to the Stone Age, 6,000 years ago! Tourists also learn that 1,200 years ago the Arawak Indians inhabited all the islands of the West Indies and were a peaceful people living under the guidance of their chiefs. Three hundred years after the Arawaks first arrived on St. Maarten, in the 1300s, they were defeated and forced to abandon the island by a hostile tribe of Indians originating in South America. This new tribe was called the Carib. The Caribbean Sea was named after them. Unlike the Arawaks, they had no permanent chiefs or leaders, except in times of strife. And they were extremely warlike. Worse, they were cannibalistic, eating the enemy warriors they captured. In fact, the very word cannibal comes from the Spanish name for the Carib Indians. The Spanish arrived in the fifteenth century and, unfortunately, they carried diseases to which the Indians had no immunity. Many Indians succumbed to common European illnesses; others died from the hard labor forced upon them.", "type": "text_block", "database_type": "", "university": "", "year": "", "unit": "", "shift": "", "subject": "", "chapter": "", "topic": ""}, {"question": "", "options": [{"option": "6000 BC", "answer": true}, {"option": "4000 BC", "answer": false}, {"option": "800 AD", "answer": false}, {"option": "1300 AD\u00a0", "answer": false}], "type": "question", "database_type": "qb", "university": "ju", "year": "2020-21", "unit": "f", "shift": "1", "subject": "e-b", "chapter": "e-40", "topic": "", "title": "One can infer from the passage that the Stone Age people lived on St. Maarten around the year-\u00a0", "full_question": "Which of the following is not true about the Carib Indians?\u00a0", "mark": 1.0, "answer": "one", "explanation": "Which of the following is not true about the Carib Indians?\u00a0[E-40,\u00a0JU-F1 : 2020-21]"}, {"question": "", "options": [{"option": "Cannibalism\u00a0", "answer": false}, {"option": "War", "answer": true}, {"option": "Duty- free", "answer": false}, {"option": "Chief\u00a0", "answer": false}], "type": "question", "database_type": "qb", "university": "ju", "year": "2020-21", "unit": "f", "shift": "1", "subject": "e-b", "chapter": "e-40", "topic": "", "title": "One can infer from the passage that underlined word means-\u00a0", "full_question": "According to the article, present day St. Maarten\u00a0", "mark": 1.0, "answer": "one", "explanation": "According to the article, present day St. Maarten\u00a0

These tensions revealed themselves in multiple moving frontiers and a dynamic economy. The Bengal delta was never an isolated place. On the contrary, one of its basic features was its openness to both the immense expanse of the Indian Ocean and an enormous hinterland.

It served as a gateway to the wider world for people and goods from the landlocked Ganges plains in the west, from Tibet and Nepal in the north and from the Brahmaputra valley in the east.

The generous Abdullah then handed over the cup to the soldier, instead of taking himself, saying: "The necessity is greater than mine"Greatness lies in..

The 'Revolution' refers to :

Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far as the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. We go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude to ward life until we loss it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being stricken blind and deaf for few days at sometime during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. According to the writer we do not pay attention to life because
