Q.1	Sofia is exploring the impact of food transportation on greenhouse gas emissions. Which food choice generally requires the least transportation and thereby has a lower carbon footprint?
	a) Seasonal vegetables from a nearby farm.		b) Exotic fruits imported from distant countries.
	c) Packaged frozen foods from international markets.		d) Canned goods transported via air freight.

Q.2	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) Greenhouse gases trap heat, contributing to warming the Earth's surface.		b) The greenhouse effect has no impact on Earth's temperature regulation.
	c) Greenhouse gases prevent sunlight from reaching Earth, causing cooling.		d) The greenhouse effect only affects certain regions but not the entire planet.

Q.3	A family composts their food waste regularly. Which environmental benefit is directly linked to this practice?
	a) Increased greenhouse gas emissions.		b) Amplified need for chemical fertilisers.
	c) Enhanced soil fertility and moisture retention.		d) Diminished biodiversity in the area.

Q.4	A rapidly growing city is planning its expansion. Developer A proposes building high-rise apartments with minimal green space to maximise housing, while Developer B advocates for incorporating several large parks and green corridors throughout the development. A heated debate ensues, with arguments for and against each approach. Which developer makes the stronger case for the city's long-term well-being, and why?
	a) Developer A, as maximising housing density reduces transportation demands and promotes social interaction.		b) Developer B, as urban green spaces contribute to cleaner air, lower temperatures, and improved mental health of residents.
	c) Both developers offer equally valid points, and the decision should be based on economic considerations.		d) Neither developer, as further studies are needed on the impact of green spaces in megacities.

Q.5	The students are examining nuclear energy and its environmental implications. Considering their long-term impact and safety hazards, what constitutes the primary environmental concern linked to nuclear power plants?
	a) Dissemination of greenhouse gases leading to climate alteration.		b) Discharge of particulate matter resulting in regional air pollution.
	c) Accumulation of radioactive waste and the potential for accidents.		d) Contribution to soil degradation and ecosystem destabilisation.

Q.6	Considering the absence of greenhouse gases, what might happen to the Earth's climate in the long term?
	a) The climate would become more stable and predictable.		b) There would be a gradual cooling of the planet.
	c) Earth would experience extreme temperature fluctuations.		d) Climate patterns would remain the same.

Q.7	Noah is exploring the impact of nutrient pollution on marine ecosystems. How does nutrient pollution, such as excess nitrogen and phosphorus, primarily affect marine habitats?
