Q.1	Mark and Sarah are discussing ways to conserve water at home. Mark argues that taking shorter showers helps save water, while Sarah believes that using a dishwasher consumes less water than hand washing dishes. In the context of water conservation at home, which statement aligns more with effective water-saving practices based on Mark and Sarah's discussion?
	a) Mark's shorter showers significantly conserve more water than Sarah's dishwasher usage.		b) Sarah's claim of a dishwasher using less water compared to hand washing dishes is more water-efficient.
	c) Both Mark and Sarah's approaches contribute equally to water conservation efforts.		d) Neither Mark's shorter showers nor Sarah's dishwasher usage significantly impact water conservation.

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	During a marine biology field trip, Emma and her classmates explored a tidal ecosystem. They observed the diverse life forms thriving in the area, including decomposers breaking down organic matter. What might occur in the tidal ecosystem if the activity of decomposers significantly declined?
	a) Increased biodiversity due to reduced competition		b) Accumulation of organic matter leading to oxygen depletion
	c) Faster recycling of nutrients within the ecosystem		d) Improved water quality and clarity

Q.4	The team found that the absence of natural vegetation had disrupted the local hydrological cycle, leading to water scarcity in the region. What would be the most effective strategy to restore the hydrological balance in this area?
	a) Introducing more non-native plant species.		b) Constructing more dams to manage water flow.
	c) Restoring native vegetation to improve water retention.		d) Encouraging excessive irrigation to boost plant growth.

Q.5	In a coastal town, students observed marine life struggling due to pollution. Investigating the source, they identified an industrial site releasing chemicals into the water. What specific impact does chemical pollution have on marine life?
	a) Chemical pollution enhances marine biodiversity by promoting adaptation.		b) The chemicals boost nutrient levels, benefiting marine plant life.
	c) Implementing coastal tourism initiatives reduces the impact of chemical pollution on marine life.		d) Chemical pollution harms marine species by causing toxicity and disrupting ecosystems.

Q.6	One summer, Peter and his friends ventured into the nearby woods. Continuing their exploration, the friends stumbled upon a meadow where they used to see a variety of butterflies during spring.
