Q.1	In a village, there lived a young girl named Maya. She loved exploring nature and understood the importance of conserving natural resources. What did Maya learn about conserving water resources?
	a) Water should be wasted because it is an abundant resource.		b) Using excessive water is necessary for healthy plant growth.
	c) Water should be conserved as it's crucial for life and agriculture.		d) Using water indiscriminately does not affect the environment.

Q.2	A group of students decided to experiment with natural water purification methods. They placed layers of rock, sand, and charcoal in a bottle as shown in the picture and poured water through it. What is the primary purpose of the charcoal layer in this water purification setup?
	a) To add minerals to the water		b) To enhance the taste of the water
	c) To improve the water's colour		d) To remove impurities and toxins

Q.3	Jake was on a jeep tour through a vast savanna with scattered trees, tall grasses, and large herbivores like zebras and giraffes. What adaptation helps these animals thrive in this seasonal ecosystem? 1. Thick fur or feathers for insulation against harsh desert temperatures. 2. Webbed feet and gills for navigating rivers and swamps in wetland ecosystems. 3. Long legs and speed for efficient grazing and escaping predators in the open terrain. 4. Thick blubber and streamlined bodies for swimming and hunting prey in polar regions.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 3
	c) Both 1 and 3		d) Both 2 and 4

Q.4	A tourist is exploring a kelp forest. What is the primary benefit of kelp forests in the marine ecosystem?
	a) Kelp forests have no impact on providing food and shelter for various marine species		b) Kelp forests do not assist in absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
	c) Kelp forests have no connection to maintaining the balance of marine food webs		d) Kelp forests provide habitats for numerous marine organisms and contribute to nutrient cycling
