Q.2	In the heart of a lush, sprawling forest, lived Kora the Koala. She was known for her love of eucalyptus leaves and her cozy tree-dwelling lifestyle. However, one fateful day, an unexpected event disrupted her serene life. Kora found herself in search of a new home after a sudden forest fire destroyed her familiar surroundings. As she embarked on her journey to find a suitable place to settle, where would Kora most likely seek refuge?
	a) The savanna, a vast landscape filled with grasslands and scattered trees.		b) The desert, an arid expanse with minimal vegetation and extreme temperatures.
	c) The forest, where dense trees and abundant vegetation create a cozy habitat.		d) The arctic, characterised by icy landscapes and freezing temperatures.

Q.3	A group of students conducted an experiment to understand the greenhouse effect and its implications. What conclusion did they likely draw about the greenhouse effect?
	a) The greenhouse effect has no impact on Earth's temperature regulation.		b) Greenhouse gases trap heat, contributing to warming the Earth's surface.
	c) Greenhouse gases prevent sunlight from reaching Earth, causing cooling.		d) The greenhouse effect only affects certain regions but not the entire planet.

Q.4	Alex is comparing two irrigation systems for his garden. System A uses drip irrigation, and System B uses sprinklers. How does System A align better with responsible water consumption?
	a) System A is more visually appealing than System B.		b) System A requires more water for the same coverage.
	c) System A distributes water evenly, minimising wastage.		d) System A operates faster, saving time.
