Q.1	Sarah wanted to contribute to recycling efforts in her community. She collected various items like plastic bottles, glass jars, and old newspapers. How should Sarah effectively segregate these items for recycling?
	a) Recycle all the magazines without thinking.		b) Throw away the magazines because they're old.
	c) Reuse some magazines for crafts and recycle the rest.		d) Keep all the magazines because they're pretty.

Q.2	Consider the following scenario in the context of food security and agriculture: In a region with unpredictable weather patterns, farmers are facing challenges in ensuring food security for the community. They are exploring different strategies to enhance agricultural productivity and resilience. Which of the following measures would be most effective in addressing the challenges and ensuring food security in this scenario?
	a) Introducing crop diversification to reduce vulnerability to weather fluctuations.		b) Relying solely on chemical fertilisers to boost crop growth.
	c) Implementing a monoculture approach to focus on high-yielding crops.		d) Ignoring technological advancements and sticking to traditional farming methods.

Q.3	Your once-sunny city seems shrouded in a hazy cloud of smog, especially during winter. Cars and factories are the main culprits, but everyone suffers from breathing difficulties and reduced visibility. Which air pollutants from fossil fuels are likely contributing to this smog, and how can your city combat these issues?
	a) Nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide from vehicle exhausts and factory emissions combine with sunlight to form harmful smog, which can be tackled by promoting electric vehicles and stricter emission regulations.		b) Carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas from fossil fuels, directly contributes to smog, and the solution lies solely in switching to renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
	c) Fine particulate matter from car dust and industrial activities traps pollutants in the air, worsening smog. Investing in public transportation and green spaces can alleviate the problem.		d) Smog is primarily caused by natural phenomena like dust storms and forest fires, and the city should focus on preparing for these events rather than blaming fossil fuels.

Q.4	A group of environmental scientists conducted a study on the significance of land-based environments in maintaining ecological balance. They explored various aspects ranging from biodiversity to human reliance on terrestrial ecosystems. During their research, the scientists observed a correlation between land-based environments and the overall health of marine ecosystems. Choose an appropriate option that best reflects the importance of terrestrial ecosystems for marine life.
	a) Land-based environments have minimal impact on marine ecosystems, thus their significance is negligible.		b) Terrestrial environments act as a buffer, filtering pollutants before they reach the oceans, thus preserving marine habitats.
	c) Marine ecosystems are entirely independent of land-based environments, having no ecological connections.		d) Human activities in terrestrial ecosystems do not affect the quality of water in marine environments.

Q.5	Consider the city planning graph below, showing the distribution of bike lanes, pedestrian pathways, and green spaces in a city. Which area is most sustainably developed?

Q.7	In a small town, the local government implemented a waste reduction program. They observed a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions over the years. To what extent do dietary choices contribute to this positive change?
	a) No impact, as waste reduction is solely related to recycling efforts.		b) Significant impact, as certain food choices can result in lower carbon emissions.
	c) Negligible impact, as emissions are primarily influenced by industrial activities.		d) Unrelated impact, as the waste reduction program focuses on non-food waste.

Q.8	In a particular forest, a new road was constructed, splitting the area into two smaller sections. This resulted in isolating a group of endangered species to one side. What phenomenon does this scenario represent?
	a) Deforestation		b) Habitat fragmentation
