UPSC Editorials Quiz : 3 May 2025

Introducing QUED – Questions from Editorials (UPSC Editorials Quiz) , an innovative initiative from InsightsIAS. Considering the significant number of questions in previous UPSC Prelims from editorials, practicing MCQs from this perspective can provide an extra edge. While we cover important editorials separately in our Editorial Section and SECURE Initiative, adding QUED (UPSC Editorials Quiz) to your daily MCQ practice alongside Static Quiz, Current Affairs Quiz, and InstaDART can be crucial for better performance. We recommend utilizing this initiative to enhance your preparation, with 5 MCQs posted daily at 11 am from Monday to Saturday on our website under the QUIZ menu.

• Question 3 of 5 3. Question Consider the following statements regarding carbon removal and offset methods: Direct Air Capture (DAC) uses biological processes to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Reforestation is considered a form of negative emissions technology. Which of the above statements is/are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Solution: b) Statement 1 is incorrect. Direct Air Capture (DAC) refers to engineered systems that extract CO₂ directly from ambient air using chemical sorbents, such as solid filters or liquid solvents.

DAC is an artificial carbon dioxide removal method, unlike biological approaches such as afforestation, soil carbon sequestration, or ocean fertilization. Statement 2 is correct. Reforestation involves planting trees in deforested or degraded areas, and these trees absorb atmospheric CO₂ through photosynthesis, making it a natural and cost-effective negative emissions technology (NET). It is recognized in climate mitigation strategies globally, especially under frameworks like the IPCC and the Paris Agreement, as a crucial tool for achieving net-zero emissions.

• Question 4 of 5 4. Question Consider the following statements regarding Heatwaves. Statement-I: Heatwaves have a disproportionately higher impact on women and elderly populations. Statement-II: Women and elderly are biologically more resilient to temperature fluctuations. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements? a) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I b) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I c) Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect d) Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct Correct Solution: c) Statement-I is correct. Heatwaves disproportionately impact women and the elderly due to a combination of biological vulnerabilities and socio-economic disadvantages. Elderly individuals often have diminished thermoregulation, chronic health conditions, and limited mobility, which increases their risk of heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke or cardiovascular events. Women, especially pregnant or lactating, face higher physiological strain during extreme heat. Additionally, gender-based disparities in access to resources such as air conditioning, healthcare, or safe housing further elevate risk. Statement-II is incorrect. Contrary to the claim, women and elderly populations are not biologically more resilient. In fact, both groups exhibit reduced physiological capacity to cope with thermal stress. The elderly may not sense heat effectively or adapt behaviours quickly, while women—particularly in marginalized settings—may be more exposed due to caregiving roles or work in unregulated environments. Incorrect Solution: c) Statement-I is correct. Heatwaves disproportionately impact women and the elderly due to a combination of biological vulnerabilities and socio-economic disadvantages. Elderly individuals often have diminished thermoregulation, chronic health conditions, and limited mobility, which increases their risk of heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke or cardiovascular events.
