Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a source of warmth and as a means of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious ways of making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he carried a firebrand with him. His discovery that the firebrand, from which the torch may very well have developed, could be used for illumination was probably incidental to the primary purpose of preserving a flame. Lamps, too, probably developed by accident. Early man may have had his first conception of a lamp while watching a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a roasting carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in it. Such lamps, which are made of hollowed stones or sea shells, have persisted in identical from up to quite recent times.

The district administration has taken all necessary measures to tackle imminent floods this monsoon season, but Pilibhit still remains vulnerable mainly due to heavy discharge of waters across the border from Nepal. This influx also affects Lakhimpur-Kheri and Sitapur districts.
The district of Pilibhit is surrounded by two major rivers — Sharda and Devha — apart from Kailash, Khakra and Apsara rivers. Almost every year, the deluge of Sharda and Devha affects hundreds of people around 72 villages of the district and render many people homeless.
The discharge of water from Nepal makes the situationmore precarious. Water flowing from Nepal merges into Sharda through the Bamni river which carries water from five Nepali rivers, namely Radha, Patharia, Syali, Sunvara and Vanara. The collective discharge of water from all these rivers intensifies water current in Sharda to devastating levels leading to floods.
The administration has set up 34 flood relief camps in the district out of which 15 have been set up in Puranpur tehsil area, 12 camps in Bisalpur and seven camps in Pilibhit tehsil area. These camps will provide with shelter, food and medical assistance to the flood affected people. The most severely affected area falls between NaujalhaNakta to Ramnagra, which is in the close proximity of the downstream of Sharda river.
