Q.1	In an experiment to study a terrestrial food web, scientists set up a controlled environment in a forest ecosystem. They observed an increase in the population of herbivorous insects. What would be the most likely consequence of this population increase on the food web?
	a) An increase in plant populations due to reduced herbivory		b) A decrease in carnivorous insect populations due to competition
	c) A decrease in plant populations due to increase consumption of plants		d) A decrease in soil microorganisms

Q.2	While snorkelling, Mia notices vibrant coral reefs teeming with tiny fish and colourful invertebrates. What role do these small creatures play in the marine food web?
	a) Primary producers: They capture sunlight and produce food for herbivores.		b) Secondary consumers: They hunt smaller fish and invertebrates for sustenance.
	c) Primary consumers: They graze on algae and provide food for larger predators.		d) Apex predators: They occupy the top of the food chain with few natural predators.

Q.3	Why is rainwater harvesting beneficial for water management in regions prone to water scarcity? 1. It provides an alternative source of water during dry periods. 2. It increases dependency on municipal water supplies. 3. It leads to excessive water wastage. 4. It has a negative impact on the environment.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Both 2 and 3		d) Both 2 and 4

Q.4	In a community initiative, residents organise a neighborhood swap event where people exchange gently used items rather than discarding them. What does this scenario exemplify?
	a) Embracing waste reduction through reuse and upcycling initiatives.		b) Ignoring the potential of reusable items.
	c) Disregarding the importance of recycling.		d) Promoting the disposal of items in landfills.

Q.5	Sarah noticed that her house generated a lot of waste daily, especially paper. She wanted to help reduce this waste. Which action would be the best way for Sarah to contribute to waste reduction? 1. Buying new toys regularly 2. Using separate bins for recyclables and non-recyclables 3. Throwing away old newspapers immediately 4. Using disposable cups for drinking water

Q.6	Arya is a marine scientist who is studying the impact of climate change on the marine food web. She notices that the populations of some fish species are declining, while the populations of other fish species are increasing. She also notices that the populations of some phytoplankton species are declining, while the populations of other phytoplankton species are increasing. What could be the reason for these changes in the marine food web? 1. Climate change is causing the ocean to become warmer, which is affecting the distribution of fish species. 2. Climate change is causing the ocean to become more acidic, which is affecting the distribution of phytoplankton species. 3. Climate change is causing the ocean to become more polluted, which is affecting the distribution of both fish and phytoplankton species.
