Q.1	Lisa, during her school trip, visited the local water treatment plant. She observed a fascinating process called desalination. In which of the following situations would desalination likely be most beneficial?
	a) A community located near a freshwater river.		b) A region with heavy rainfall throughout the year.
	c) An island surrounded by salty ocean water.		d) A mountainous area with natural springs.

Q.2	At a school picnic, the weather turned warm, and the fruit salad prepared earlier started to smell odd. What is the best action to take regarding the fruit salad?
	a) Serve the fruit salad but warn everyone about the odd smell.		b) Keep the fruit salad in the sun to get rid of the smell.
	c) Discard the fruit salad to prevent potential food poisoning.		d) Add more sugar or seasoning to mask the odd smell.

Q.3	Lucas decided to explore the forest and uncover its mysteries. Amidst his exploration, Lucas met an elder from his village who shared wisdom about the forest's significance. What role does the forest play in soil erosion?
	a) The forest has no impact on soil erosion or land stability.		b) It contributes to soil erosion by retaining excess water.
	c) It acts as a shield against soil erosion and maintains land stability.		d) It promotes landslides due to dense vegetation.

Q.4	In addressing the challenges of an overloaded power grid and environmental concerns, which approach strikes a balance between speed, cost-effectiveness, and long-term benefits?
	a) A hybrid approach, combining upgrades to existing infrastructure with the gradual introduction of microgrids, could provide a balanced solution balancing speed, cost, and long-term environmental benefits.		b) Upgrading existing infrastructure offers a faster and more cost-effective solution, ensuring immediate stability and integrating smart technology into established systems.
	c) Decentralised microgrids powered by renewables promote energy independence, resilience to outages, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels, but their widespread implementation might require significant time and investment.		d) Focusing solely on renewable energy microgrids, regardless of the time and cost challenges, is the only ethical and responsible solution to combat climate change.

Q.5	In a study comparing two communities—one using well water and the other using water from a river—it was found that the community using river water had a higher incidence of waterborne diseases. What conclusion can be drawn from this data?
	a) Well water is naturally purified and free from contaminants.		b) The community using river water might have inadequate water treatment measures.
	c) Waterborne diseases are not affected by the source of water.		d) The study's results are inconclusive and do not allow for any conclusions to be drawn.

Q.6	Mega City is facing a severe air pollution crisis. To address this, the city council proposes two solutions: A) Building a new highway to bypass traffic congestion. B) Implementing a congestion pricing system where drivers pay a fee to enter the city centre during peak hours. Which solution is more likely to contribute to sustainable transportation goals?
	a) Solution A, as it will reduce traffic jams and encourage faster commutes.		b) Both solutions are equally effective in promoting sustainable transportation.
	c) Neither solution is effective, as air pollution requires stricter industrial emission regulations.		d) Solution B, as it will discourage private car usage and incentivise public transport or carpooling.
