Read the passage and answer the following questions.

With 2.5 billion people around the world still excluded from the formal financial system, there is growing interest in how to extend financial services to the "unbanked", many of whom live in extreme poverty in developing countries. Their exclusion from formal financial services forces them to rely on risky and expensive alternatives, which stifles both individual and macro-level economic development. Evidence also shows that people want savings, and demand for savings accounts outstrips demand for credit in sub-Saharan Africa. But the problem for many of the poorest people is that they simply don't have a good way of doing it. As Nelly Otieno, microfinance specialist with Care Kenya pointed out, in the absence of any savings vehicles, excess cash has tended to get put into something like livestock. A poor woman with spare cash invests in a chicken. There's quite a __________ between that form of investment and the kind of formal products provided by banks. 

That's where community-led savings groups have a role to play, and what surprised Otieno was the fervour with which people joined these groups and how quickly they demanded more advanced products as a group and wanted to invest individually too.

"In the past three years, we've seen a huge demand coming from these groups," she said. "Initially it's to start saving, but in time as they build the confidence they want to increase their savings, and as they increase their savings they also want to invest more in their own businesses." 

The seminar discussed how graduation from these community-led savings schemes into a wider array of formal financial services is potentially risky. It is at this point, for instance, that many financial services providers might identify an opportunity to step in and offer all sorts of products to a burgeoning customer base, which may or may not be in the interests of those customers.

Question:

Which of the following statements is/are true according to the given passage?

1. The seminar discussed how graduation from these community-led savings schemes into a wider array of formal financial services is potentially risky.

With 2.5 billion people around the world still excluded from the formal financial system, there is growing interest in how to extend financial services to the "unbanked", many of whom live in extreme poverty in developing countries. Their exclusion from formal financial services forces them to rely on risky and expensive alternatives, which stifles both individual and macro-level economic development. Evidence also shows that people want savings, and demand for savings accounts outstrips demand for credit in sub-Saharan Africa. But the problem for many of the poorest people is that they simply don't have a good way of doing it. As Nelly Otieno, microfinance specialist with Care Kenya pointed out, in the absence of any savings vehicles, excess cash has tended to get put into something like livestock. A poor woman with spare cash invests in a chicken. There's quite a __________ between that form of investment and the kind of formal products provided by banks. 

That's where community-led savings groups have a role to play, and what surprised Otieno was the fervour with which people joined these groups and how quickly they demanded more advanced products as a group and wanted to invest individually too.

"In the past three years, we've seen a huge demand coming from these groups," she said. "Initially it's to start saving, but in time as they build the confidence they want to increase their savings, and as they increase their savings they also want to invest more in their own businesses." 

The seminar discussed how graduation from these community-led savings schemes into a wider array of formal financial services is potentially risky. It is at this point, for instance, that many financial services providers might identify an opportunity to step in and offer all sorts of products to a burgeoning customer base, which may or may not be in the interests of those customers.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions.

Imagine going to the refrigerator one morning only to find it empty. Then turning on the television to discover that there is a world-wide food shortage because bees have gone extinct and, without our friendly pollinators, so has the food. 

This hypothetical situation is not as far from our future reality as we would like to think. Earth’s average temperature has risen almost two degrees since 1880. That might not seem like much on paper, but the effects of this seemingly small climate change can be seen in the weather, sea levels, and the health of our global bee populations. In fact, the impact of changing temperatures on both native and introduced pollinators has many experts believing slowing climate change may be the only way to save the bees. 

It’s no secret that bee populations, especially honeybees, have been struggling in recent years. In the short period of time between 2014 and 2017, an estimated 10 million hives were lost. Today, honeybees play a significant role in both our natural ecosystem and our agricultural industry. However, in many ways, climate change is harming native bee species and other pollinators far more than honeybees. It’s robbing them of their food, and breeding fuel. Many native pollinators rely on only a small selection of flowers as a food source or for breeding purposes. Besides, insects take care of our food requirements too. Pollination is where insects move pollen from one plant to another, fertilising the plants so that they can produce fruit, vegetables, seeds and so on. If all the bees went extinct, it would destroy the delicate balance of the Earth's ecosystem and affect global food supplies.
