Q.1	Mark lived in a small town named Greenville. He was deeply committed to environmental sustainability and made conscious choices in his consumption habits. How did Mark approach his consumption habits?
	a) He frequently bought new products and discarded old ones.		b) He always chose products with excessive packaging.
	c) He focused on reducing waste and reusing items.		d) He didn't pay much attention to his consumption habits.

Q.2	John wants to water his garden efficiently. What's the best time for him to water the plants?
	a) Late morning when the sun is hot		b) Late afternoon when it's a bit cooler
	c) Early morning when it's cooler and less windy		d) Late evening just before bedtime

Q.3	In a coastal town, residents have noticed a significant increase in the intensity and frequency of storms and hurricanes over the past few years. What could be linked to the observed stronger and more frequent storms and hurricanes?
	a) Declining sea levels providing more energy for storm systems.		b) Warmer ocean waters intensifying storm development.
	c) Decline in global population density.		d) Reduced levels of atmospheric humidity.

Q.4	Blair's family always uses reusable shopping bags and avoids buying bottled water. They also eat mostly plant-based meals and compost food scraps. Serena's family uses plastic bags, drinks bottled water, and throws away food scraps. Select the statement(s) that accurately shows how Blair and Serena's families' consumption affects the environment. 1. Blair's family uses less plastic, reducing pollution and resource depletion. 2. Blair's family consumes more energy due to using reusable bags. 3. Blair's family contributes more greenhouse gases through plant-based meals. 4. Serena's family has a smaller environmental footprint because they buy less.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 1 and 3
	c) Only 2, 3 and 4		d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
