Q1. Which statement best captures the central argument of the passage?

A. Resilient systems are superior to resistant systems because adaptation is always preferable to stability.

B. Resistance and resilience are distinct capacities, and their value depends on the functions a system must preserve and the disruptions it faces.

C. Efficient systems inevitably become fragile because efficiency requires eliminating all spare capacity.

D. A system can be considered resilient whenever it changes rapidly after a disturbance.

Q2. Why does the author discuss the suppression of small forest fires?

A. To show that preventing minor disturbances can sometimes remove processes that limit the damage caused by larger disturbances.

B. To establish that natural ecosystems should never be protected from fire.

C. To argue that forests recover more efficiently when all human intervention is eliminated.

D. To demonstrate that resistance and resilience always move in opposite directions.

Q3. A hospital maintains additional emergency beds that remain unused during most ordinary weeks. Which conclusion is most consistent with the passage?

A. The beds are necessarily wasteful because unused resources reduce efficiency.

B. Their value depends partly on whether they provide useful capacity during plausible disruptions in demand.

C. Their existence proves that the hospital is resilient regardless of how emergencies are managed.

D. The hospital should keep increasing spare beds until no possible surge could exceed capacity.

Q4. The phrase "under altered conditions" in the third paragraph primarily emphasises that:

A. Successful resilience may involve maintaining important functions without preserving every previous arrangement.

B. Resilient systems must abandon their original functions during emergencies.

C. Resistance becomes impossible whenever environmental conditions change.

D. Alternative arrangements are always more efficient than established ones.

Q5. Which finding would most seriously weaken the claim that a particular reserve resource increases a system's resilience?

A. The reserve increases operating costs during normal periods.

B. The reserve is rarely used.

C. During the disruptions for which it was supposedly maintained, technical incompatibilities prevent it from performing the required function.

D. Managers cannot predict the exact date of the next disruption.
