Q.1	Tim's family planned a picnic near a lake. While they were there, dark clouds formed, and it began to rain heavily. Tim remembered studying about this stage of the water cycle. Which stage of the water cycle did the heavy rain represent?
	a) Evaporation		b) Condensation
	c) Collection		d) Precipitation

Q.2	Alex, an aspiring marine conservationist, embarked on a mission to address the threats to coral reefs. He studied the factors causing coral bleaching and sought effective solutions. While researching coral bleaching, Alex found a strategy that could directly aid in protecting coral reefs. What approach would be most beneficial for addressing this issue?
	a) Regulating whaling activities in the vicinity of coral reefs.		b) Studying and protecting endangered species in the area.
	c) Reducing ocean acidification through global policy changes.		d) Establishing marine protected areas around coral reef habitats.

Q.3	You're on a camping trip with a friend, and you desperately need clean water for drinking. The only option is a muddy stream full of leaves. You have some coffee filters with you. You fill a cup with the murky creek water and pass it through the filter. Based on the scenario, answer the following questions: A. What will happen when you try to filter the water through the coffee filter? B. Is this water safe for drinking?
	a) A: The filter will clog up quickly. B: Yes		b) A: The filtered water will be completely clear. B: Yes
	c) A: The filtered water will still be slightly cloudy. B: No		d) A: The filter will dissolve in the water. B: No

Q.4	In an experiment, researchers compare the environmental impact of two vegetable farming methods. Which data would be most relevant to assess their sustainability?
	a) The total weight of vegetables produced by both methods.		b) The amount of synthetic pesticides used in each method.
	c) The biodiversity of insects and animals observed in the fields.		d) The carbon footprint and water usage associated with each farming method.

Q.5	Farmer Tom is facing decreased crop yields due to erratic rainfall patterns caused by climate change. Which adaptive strategy would be most effective for him to combat this issue?
	a) Implementing traditional farming techniques		b) Developing genetically modified drought-resistant crops
	c) Using chemical fertilisers to enhance soil fertility		d) Abandoning agriculture and seeking a different profession
