Directions: Read the passage given below and choose the correct option.

Passage: Pollution amounts to slow murder. Regular exposure to industrial and vehicular pollution leads to life-threatening diseases like asthma, heart problems, cancer and various other disorders. Therefore, nobody has the right to pollute, rich or poor. Industrial and vehicular pollution is growing rapidly across the country. It is not just the metropolitan centre’s that are heavily polluted today but also small and medium towns. Pollution is growing faster than the economy. This is because the western technological model, built on heavy use of energy and materials, is an inherently highly toxic model. It produces huge amounts of toxic pollution, which can be controlled only if there is a careful choice of technology and there is considerable discipline in its use.

Assumption: The pollution level in the western world is considerably more than that in India.

  1. If the assumption is definitely true.
