Q.2	As the seasons passed, the town experienced more frequent and severe storms. How might these extreme weather events be linked to climate change?
	a) Natural weather cycles occurring randomly.		b) Increased deforestation in the surrounding areas.
	c) Shifts in ocean currents affecting atmospheric patterns.		d) Rapid urbanisation leading to weather alterations.

Q.3	What impact does population growth have on food security? 1. Increased population reduces food demand 2. Larger populations have no effect on food production 3. Rapid population growth can strain food resources 4. A growing population guarantees surplus food production
	a) Only 1		b) Only 3
	c) Both 2 and 3		d) Both 3 and 4

Q.4	What does "affordability" mean concerning food security?
	a) The cost of food in different seasons		b) The ability of people to buy the food they need
	c) The number of food items available in a store		d) The taste and quality of the food available
