passage 1= introduction of the great barrier reef and its diverse collection.
passage 2= how it looks like from aerial view. also describe contrast between two islands.
passage 3= talks about the structure beneath the surface and says there is abundance of shapes, sizes and colors. also talks about tourist attraction.
Q-1
passage 1 began with saying the great barrier reef contains different types of corals, fish species and types of mollusca. and says its among few living structure appears as a complex string of reefy structures. it talks about diversity and how its among few visible from space.
A not at all. completely irrelevant.
B this perfectly defines what we discussed earlier.
C no, it doesnt produce an aerial panorama of seascapes
D passage never says its alive. it only says its visible from space
E not only about fish species.
Q-2
A The Whitsunday Islands provide a magnificent vista of green vegetated islands and spectacular sandy beaches spread over azure waters. even if you dont knwo meaning of azure, the sentence is written in such way that allows us to infer that water appear as bright blue.
B last passage talks about this.
C passage talks about for both above and beneath but never mentioned any direct comparison though. so this is correct.
D passage talks about large aggrevation of over wintering butterflies occurs periodically. so this can be inferred
E last whole passage is about biodiversity so this can be inferred as well.
Q-3
A passage 2 talks about the contrast between two island and how they differ eith each other. so this is consisten with passage.
B first line of passage 2 states this one.
C this one is also consistent with passage as passage 3 talks about it.
D passage says that raine island is largest green turtle breeding area. it never says breeding colony of seabirds. so this is ans.
E as mentioned in previous chocie, its largest breeding area for turtle so this can be inferred.
Q-4
A no cause explanation for biodiversity.
B not about types of fish, corals and mollusca. reject.
C there is not contrasting view though.
D not only about tourist attraction.
E this captures the whole point properly.

The Great Barrier Reef contains the world’s largest collection of coral reefs, with 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish, and 4,000 types of mollusca. It is of superlative natural beauty above and below the water, and provides some of the most spectacular scenery. It is among the few living structures visible from space, appearing as a complex string of reefy structures along Australia's northeast coast.
From the air, the vast mosaic patterns of reefs, islands, and coral cays produce an unparalleled aerial panorama of seascapes comprising diverse shapes and sizes. The Whitsunday Islands provide a magnificent vista of green vegetated islands and spectacular sandy beaches spread over azure waters. This contrasts with the vast mangrove forests in Hinchinbrook Channel, and the rugged vegetated mountains and lush rainforest gullies that are periodically cloud-covered on Hinchinbrook Island.
On many cays, there are spectacular and important breeding colonies of seabirds and marine turtles, and Raine Island is the world’s largest green turtle breeding area. On some continental islands, large aggregations of over-wintering butterflies periodically occur. Beneath the ocean surface too, there is an abundance and diversity of shapes, sizes, and colors; for example, spectacular coral assemblages of hard and soft corals, and thousands of species of reef fish provide a myriad of brilliant colors, shapes, and sizes. The renowned Cod Hole near Lizard Island is one of most significant tourist attractions in Australia. Other superlative natural phenomena include the annual coral spawning, migrating whales, nesting turtles, and significant spawning aggregations of many fish species.
