Q.1	You learn about a farming community facing water scarcity due to unsustainable irrigation practices. What alternative approach can minimise water usage and promote resource conservation?
	a) Invest in large-scale desalination plants to provide unlimited freshwater for irrigation.		b) Implement drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to plant roots, minimising waste.
	c) Grow drought-resistant crops adapted to the local climate and require less water.		d) Increase the use of traditional flood irrigation methods, ensuring adequate water coverage for all crops.

Q.2	Sasha's family decided to participate in an energy-saving competition. They were surprised to learn that their old refrigerator consumed the most electricity. What alternative could they consider to minimise energy consumption and keep food fresh?
	a) Replace it with a newer, energy-efficient model.		b) Unplug the refrigerator when not in use.
	c) Adjust the temperature settings to a higher level.		d) Fill the refrigerator to capacity for better insulation.
