Q.1	The school cafeteria has decided to install energy-efficient appliances. They replaced the older refrigerator and cooking equipment with energy-star rated models. How might this change affect the school's energy consumption over a year?
	a) Increase significantly		b) Decrease gradually
	c) No change		d) Fluctuate unpredictably

Q.2	Considering the impact of climate change, which of the following species is likely to face the highest risk of endangerment? 1. A migratory bird species 2. A deep-sea fish species 3. A reptile species in a tropical forest
	a) Only 1		b) Only 1 and 2
	c) Only 2 and 3		d) 1, 2 and 3

Q.3	You're at the grocery store and see two types of apples: organic and conventionally grown. Both look delicious. Which choice would be more sustainable?
	a) Both choices are equally sustainable; the growing methods have minimal impact on the environment.		b) Conventionally grown apples, as they are more affordable and readily available, reducing transportation emissions.
	c) Organic apples, as they often require fewer pesticides and chemicals, promoting soil health and biodiversity.		d) There is no difference in sustainability between organic and conventionally grown apples.

Q.4	A research team investigated the effects of climate change on the migration patterns of marine species. What implications can changing migration patterns have on marine ecosystems, and how might this impact human communities reliant on these species for sustenance?
	a) Altered migration patterns might disrupt food chains, affecting species abundance and diversity in marine ecosystems		b) Changing migration patterns will have no significant impact on marine ecosystems
	c) Human communities relying on these species can easily adapt to changes in migration patterns		d) Altered migration patterns will lead to increased catch and abundance of marine species, benefiting human communities

Q.5	A restaurant implements some new practices in their kitchen, such as using a dishwasher efficiently and fixing leaks promptly. What impact does this have on their overall sustainability?
	a) It has no effect on sustainability.		b) It reduces water consumption and contributes positively to sustainability.
	c) It increases water wastage and negatively affects sustainability.		d) It solely improves the restaurant's kitchen hygiene but doesn't impact sustainability.

Q.6	A local community is considering converting a large area of forest into farmland. What are some potential environmental consequences of this conversion? 1. Loss of habitat for many plant and animal species 2. Increased soil erosion due to removal of vegetation 3. Reduced air quality due to increased dust and pollution
