<html><body><h2 id="content-id-2867491053-2"><b>Reading Comprehension Questions Overview</b></h2><p>Reading Comprehension Questions have a good weightage in the Ibps Po Exam and the type of question asked in Ibps Po exam is similar to the question mentioned below. It has been solved and explained by KD Live Experts under the guidance of Neetu Mam and they have tried to elaborate the concept used in Reading Comprehension Questions.</p><h2 id="content-id-7501629384-3"><b> Comprehension On Reading Comprehension Questions</b></h2>Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Dzung Nguyen piloted the fishing boat with the lights out, a dark splotch on the inky sea. Evading detection was imperative. Water caught flecks of the waning half egg of the moon and glistened like a tossed blanket of unreachable stars. The boat’s six-horsepower motor thrummed quietly. Three hundred miles to the southeast lay the Indonesian island of Natuna, a name Dzung had only recently learned, one that meant salvation.

He remained anxious this close to Vietnam’s coast. He hadn’t wanted Thomas, seven years his junior, to join this group of conspirators plotting escape, but their mother had insisted. Thomas, too, could reclaim his future if they made it out. Dzung feared they wouldn’t. If patrol boats caught them now, they’d all be tossed into the prison labor camps, and Thomas’s fate would be Dzung’s burden.

At 28, Dzung knew the dreadful prisons, euphemistically called “reeducation” camps, better than any of them. Life there was a misery of hard labor and scant nourishment, and many died inside them. Dzung had nearly starved to death during his own five-and-a-half-year internment. He’d worried about Thomas and the rest of his family throughout, and now Thomas was likely closer to danger than he’d ever been on Saigon’s streets. Communist soldiers prowled Vietnam’s southern shores searching for those attempting to flee. Con Son Island, the erstwhile site of a brutal French-run penal colony for communist revolutionaries, loomed due south and harbored a force, Dzung had heard, of the People’s Army of Vietnam. They would have to skirt its soldiers.

The plan felt dangerously simple: Motor 120 degrees from north for 50 miles, then turn 180 degrees south, hold the line, and pray they’d eventually spot Natuna, a tiny Indonesian island that took in any Vietnamese refugees who could find it. It was a long shot, but it was their best hope. The slightest deviation could mean they’d miss the isle altogether and drift for weeks in one of the region’s notorious swirling currents. That would mean a slow death for him and the boat’s 26 other passengers.

Dzung dropped a piece of fabric from the bow and clocked the time it took to reach the stern. He calculated their speed as seven kilometers per hour, but the boat’s owner, a fisherman named Duc, assured him it could travel only six. Dzung studied his hand-drawn map and used the lower number to mark the spot where they’d make their turn. The journey should take four days.
<h2 id="content-id-5230976481-4"><b>Question On Reading Comprehension </b></h2>What major risk did the boat's passengers face if they made even the slightest navigation error on their route?
<div class="row show--dificulty--bar" style="margin-top:8px;"><div class="col-sm-6 show--dificulty--bar" style="display:inline-flex !important;border-right:0.1px solid #eee;"><h3 style="font-size:12px !important;">Difficulty : Easy </h3></div><div class="col-sm-6 show--dificulty--bar" style="display:inline-flex;"><h3 style="font-size:12px !important;"> Average Time : 153 Seconds </h3></div></div><h2 id="content-id-4862019537-5"><b> Reading Comprehension Questions Options</b></h2><ol><li><p>They would run aground on the reefs surrounding Con Son Island.</p>
</li><li><p>The boat’s six-horsepower motor would overheat and fail completely.</p>
</li><li><p>They would be spotted by coastal searchlights because of the moon's reflection on the water.</p>
</li><li><p>They could miss Natuna Island entirely and drift for weeks in dangerous swirling currents.</p>
</li><li><p>They would inadvertently sail directly into French-controlled waters.</p>
</li></ol> <h2 id="content-id-6501438279-6"><b> Reading Comprehension Questions Solution</b></h2><p>The correct answer is <strong>option 4</strong> i.e. <strong>They could miss Natuna Island entirely and drift for weeks in dangerous swirling currents.</strong></p>

<p>The passage explicitly states that even the slightest deviation from their planned route could cause them to miss Natuna altogether. If that happened, they could drift for weeks in the region’s notorious swirling currents.</p>

<p>Options 1, 2, 3, and 5 are not mentioned as consequences of a navigation error.</p>

<p>Hence, the chosen option is correct.</p>
