Q1. New Zealand on Thursday temporarily suspended entry for all travellers from India, including its own citizens, for about two weeks following a high number of positive coronavirus cases arriving from India. The move comes after New Zealand recorded 23 new positive coronavirus cases at its border on Thursday, of which 17 were from India. Q17. What may be the repercussions after the precautionary step of New Zealand?

1. Only I and II
2. Only III
3. Only II and III
4. Only I and III

Answer: Only III

The passage describes New Zealand's temporary suspension as a precautionary step to reduce imported COVID-19 cases. The most direct repercussion is that New Zealand would feel safer after the suspension. The other statements are speculative and are not supported by the passage.
