Geography optional Mains 2019 discussion | Lessons Learnt

@al_biruni
I think paper 1 first instance looks Easy but comments are not so easy to recall the term .Hindi medium students also got confused in AMENSALISM question and the negative impact will spill over other question . I am hoping 130+...
2nd paper was scorable 5 maps .... Expecting 150+...
..........amensalism question also hurting me I am a hindi medium student and I read this word amensalism (हिन्दी म सहजीविता था जो कि mutualism होता ह , amensalism की हिंदी असहभोजीता होती ह ) prelims ke bad pde nhi the so amensalim and comensalism m confuse ho gye and messed up ......अब फील होता ह की हिंदी के सब्द के अनुसार answer दे दिया होता तो भी शायद अच्छे नम्बर मिल जाते ।।
