The Ayurvedic system of health ________.

Concept

In reading comprehension, an answer must follow the passage’s explicit statement or a faithful paraphrase of it. A choice that reverses or contradicts the stated relationship must be excluded.

Application

The passage links inner balance with harmony in the external environment and says that human beings are made of the same elements as nature. It then explicitly describes Ayurveda as an ecology-conscious system of healthcare.

Contrast

• “does not care about the environment” expresses indifference, which conflicts with the passage’s emphasis on harmony with the external environment.

• “believes in destroying the environment” reverses the passage’s relationship between health and nature.

• “is ecology conscious” directly paraphrases the passage’s description of Ayurveda.

• “pollutes the environment” describes environmental harm, which is inconsistent with the passage.

Therefore, the Ayurvedic system of health is ecology conscious.
