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-4768315902-3"><b> Comprehension On Reading Comprehension Questions</b></h2>Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Iranian attacks on several vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz have dramatically reduced traffic in the narrow channel, through which about 20 percent of global oil and gas supplies transit. On Thursday, Iran also attacked fuel tankers in Iraqi waters.

All of this has combined to send oil prices soaring. As of Monday morning, Brent crude, the industry benchmark, was priced at USD 106 per barrel, up more than 40 percent from USD 72 per barrel on February 27.

According to Muyu Xu, a senior crude oil analyst at Kpler, liquified natural gas (LNG) prices have risen even more sharply – by almost 60 percent – since the start of the war. On March 2, QatarEnergy suspended its LNG production after an Iranian drone attack, straining the global LNG market. Qatar supplies 20 percent of the world’s LNG. Prices of refined products from petrol and gas oil to jet kerosene and fuel oil have also seen significant increases, and that trend is expected to continue if energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain largely shut, Muyu added.

“As crude oil and refined products from the Middle East Gulf are unable to reach buyers, countries, particularly in Asia, are scrambling to secure alternative supplies at higher prices and adopt emergency measures to manage inventories and demand,” she told Al Jazeera.

About 84 percent of the crude oil and 83 percent of the LNG that passed through the strait in 2024 were bound for Asia, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration. China, India, Japan, and South Korea accounted for nearly 70 percent of those oil shipments, with about 15 percent bound for the rest of Asia, according to the agency.

According to a March 9 report by Neil Shearing and his team of economists at the global macroeconomic firm Capital Economics, if the conflict is short-lived and Iranian attacks on the Gulf countries and in the Strait of Hormuz cease, “oil and LNG prices would fall back sharply with the price of Brent crude reaching USD 65pb [per barrel] by the end of the year.”
