Q.1	Your family loves watching TV, but you're worried about the electricity bill. You suggest replacing their old TV with a newer, energy-efficient model. Which feature should you prioritise for maximum energy savings?
	a) Larger screen size for better viewing experience		b) Smart TV functions with internet connectivity
	c) LED display technology for reduced power consumption		d) Higher resolution for sharper picture quality

Q.2	In a remote village, a community initiative introduced a water purification system, significantly improving water quality. Consider the multifaceted impact of the improved water quality on the village. What aspects of community life might have been positively influenced by this initiative?
	a) Increased agricultural yield due to better irrigation		b) Decline in local wildlife population due to altered water composition
	c) Reduction in waterborne diseases, promoting better health		d) Higher electricity consumption due to improved water availability

Q.3	Your school organises a science fair competition focused on alternative energy sources. You decide to present a case against fossil fuels. Which key cause of climate change should you prioritise highlighting?
	a) They deplete quickly and cannot be replenished like renewable resources.		b) They contribute to air pollution and respiratory problems in cities.
	c) They cause oil spills and harm marine life in natural disasters.		d) Burning them releases large amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming.

Q.4	Imagine you are a scientist investigating the environment, and you came across a graph showing the global trend in greenhouse gas emissions over the past 50 years. The graph clearly indicates a significant increase in emissions. What can be inferred from this data?
	a) The transition to clean energy is happening rapidly and effectively.		b) The increase in emissions is primarily due to population growth.
	c) The adoption of clean technology has not yet had a significant impact.		d) The use of fossil fuels remains dominant, contributing to rising emissions.
