The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks for any two of the given statements correctly. Let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Statement (a)**: 1. The first part of statement (a) refers to the process of aerobic burning. The correct term for this process is **incineration**. 2. The second part refers to the anaerobic burning of combustible constituents of solid waste at high temperatures. The correct term for this process is **pyrolysis**. 3. Thus, the completed statement (a) is: **(i) incineration is the process of aerobic burning whereas (ii) pyrolysis is anaerobic burning of combustible constituent of solid waste at high temperature.** **Statement (b)**: 1. This statement mentions a structure that secretes mucus and a watery alkaline fluid containing fructose. This is related to the male reproductive system. 2. The correct answer for this structure is **seminal vesicle**. 3. Thus, the completed statement (b) is: **(i) seminal vesicle secretes mucus and watery alkaline fluid that contains fructose.** **Statement (c)**: 1. Tendrils of Cucurbita and thorns of Bougainvillea are both types of modified plant organs. They are considered **homologous organs** because they have a similar origin but different functions. 2. Wings of birds and insects are considered **analogous organs** because they have similar functions (flight) but different anatomical structures. 3. Thus, the completed statement (c) is: **(i) homologous organs while (ii) analogous organs.** **Statement (d)**: 1. The rate of heartbeat and breathing movements of the human body are controlled by a specific part of the brain. 2. The correct answer is **medulla oblongata**. 3. Thus, the completed statement (d) is: **(i) medulla oblongata.** ### Final Answers: - For statement (a): **(i) incineration, (ii) pyrolysis** - For statement (b): **(i) seminal vesicle** - For statement (c): **(i) homologous, (ii) analogous** - For statement (d): **(i) medulla oblongata** ### Selected Options: The correct options that fill the blanks in any two statements are: - **(a)**: incineration, pyrolysis - **(b)**: seminal vesicle
