Q.1	Hannah is researching the environmental impact of food choices. She notices that a diet high in animal products contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. What dietary change could Hannah suggest to her community to reduce this impact?
	a) Promoting a solely plant-based diet to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.		b) Encouraging the consumption of more red meat and dairy products.
	c) Suggesting an increase in processed food consumption to reduce animal product intake.		d) Advocating for a balanced diet with moderate consumption of animal products.

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	Amelia observed that during heavy rains, one part of the city experienced flash floods and drainage issues due to excessive concrete, while another region with abundant green spaces remained relatively unaffected. Why did the area with green spaces fare better?
	a) The city's overall topography favored water runoff in green spaces.		b) Concrete areas had more efficient drainage systems in place.
	c) Green spaces effectively absorbed excess water, preventing flooding.		d) The presence of concrete minimised water absorption, causing flooding.

Q.4	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) Organic apples, as they often require fewer pesticides and chemicals, promoting soil health and biodiversity.		b) Conventionally grown apples, as they are more affordable and readily available, reducing transportation emissions.
	c) Both choices are equally sustainable; the growing methods have minimal impact on the environment.		d) There is no difference in sustainability between organic and conventionally grown apples.

Q.5	Imagine a bustling city facing the challenge of managing heavy rainfall. They implement a green infrastructure system, incorporating elements like bioswales and rain gardens. But what role do these play in keeping the city healthy and functioning smoothly?
	a) Diverting stormwater to increase flooding risks		b) Enhancing pollution in water bodies
	c) Filtering and absorbing stormwater to prevent runoff pollution		d) Reducing access to green spaces for the community

Q.6	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?
