Read the passage on education and answer questions A and B. What is education? It is much more than the knowledge we find in books. If a man is truiy educated, he will show how $\to lead a happy and useful life and how \to be a good citizen of the country in which he$ lives, $\to a greater extent a good citizen of the$ world. He will have learnt how $\to behave towards other human$ beings. By coming in touch with the active minds of his teachers and follow students, he will discover what kind of mind he himself has. He will become proud of what he knows \to be \right and ashamed of doing what he knows \to be wrong. The cleverest man is not always the educated. A wise man is one who is able $\to think clearly and then act in such a way that the best results$ follow. Knowledge is very useful, but knowledge by itself does not make a man wise. We need a special kind of education which will train us $\to use our knowledge$ wisely. For example, there had been a great increase in scientific knowledge during the present century but the wisdom of man has not increased at the same rate. Wisdom guides us $\to make the best use of our$ knowledge. Without wisdom, however, much we know we remain foolish. A. Complete the following table with information from the passage.

7.Read the following text carefully. Then answer the questions A: Meherjan lives in a slum on the Sirajgonj Town Protection Embankment. The whispering wind from the river Jamuna makes the fire unsteady. The dancing flames remind Meherjan of the turmoil in her life. Not long ago Meherjan had everything-a family, arable land and cattle. The erosion of the Jamuna gradually consumed all her land properly. It finally claimed her only shelter during the last monsoon. It took the river only a day to devou Meher's house, trees, vegetable garden and the bamboo bush. She had a happy family once. Over the years, she lost her husband and her family to diseases that cruel hunger and poverty brought to the family. Now she is the only one left to live on with the loss and the pain. The greedy Jamuna has shattered her dreams and happiness. There are thousand others waiting to share the same fate like Meherjan. Bangladesh is a land of rivers, some of whose banks overflow or erode during monsoon. Erosion is a harsh reality for the people living along the river banks. During each monsoon many more villages are threatened by the mighty rivers like the Jamuna, the Padma and the Meghna. It is estimated that river crosion makes at least 100,000 people homeless every year in Bangladesh. In fact, river erosion is one of the main dangers caused by climate change. If we can't take prompt. actions to adapt to climate change, there will be thousands of more Meherjans in our towns and villages every year. A. Choose the correct answer from the alternatives : Q. What is the figure related to homeless people in Bangladesh every year?
