Which of the following is another name for 'white ant'? / “सफ़ेद चींटी” का दूसरा नाम क्या है? [SSC CGL 17 August 2021, Shift 1]
Answer
Correct Answer : a ) Termite / दीमक
Explanation :The term “white ant” is commonly used to refer to termites.
Termites look like ants but belong to a different insect group.
They have pale, soft bodies, which is why they are called “white ants.”
Unlike ants, termites feed mostly on wood and plant matter, causing damage to buildings.
Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
“सफ़ेद चींटी” शब्द का इस्तेमाल आम तौर पर दीमक के लिए किया जाता है।
दीमक चींटियों की तरह दिखती हैं लेकिन एक अलग कीट ग्रुप से जुड़ी होती हैं।
उनके शरीर पीले और मुलायम होते हैं, इसीलिए उन्हें “सफ़ेद चींटियाँ” कहा जाता है।
चींटियों के उलट, दीमक ज़्यादातर लकड़ी और पौधों की चीज़ें खाती हैं, जिससे इमारतों को नुकसान होता है।
इसलिए, (a) सही जवाब है।
