Q.1	One summer, Peter and his friends ventured into the nearby woods. Continuing their exploration, the friends stumbled upon a meadow where they used to see a variety of butterflies during spring. However, this time, there were noticeably fewer butterflies. What could be a potential cause for this decline? 1. Decline in available nectar sources for butterflies. 2. Changes in temperature and weather patterns affecting the butterfly population. 3. Natural predator population increase, preying on butterflies. 4. Improved habitat conditions causing butterflies to move elsewhere.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Both 2 and 3		d) Both 2 and 4

Q.2	Your closet is overflowing with clothes you rarely wear. How can you reuse these items instead of throwing them away? 1. Donate them to charity for someone else to enjoy. 2. Upcycle them into new creations like tote bags or pillowcases. 3. Host a clothing swap with friends to exchange unwanted items.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Only 2 and 3		d) 1, 2 and 3

Q.3	While exploring climate change's impact on ocean health, a group of students identified a process significantly contributing to ocean acidification. What aspect of climate change primarily leads to the acidification of the ocean, affecting marine organisms?
	a) Decreased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.		b) Elevated ocean temperatures foster favourable conditions for marine life.
	c) Increased carbon dioxide absorption by the oceans, altering their pH levels.		d) Reduced water pollution due to stricter environmental regulations.

Q.4	Mia is analysing a research paper on carbon cycle disruption. How does the burning of fossil fuels specifically contribute to upsetting the carbon balance?
	a) By increasing oxygen levels in the atmosphere.		b) By releasing stored carbon dioxide into the air.
	c) By enhancing carbon sequestration in soil.		d) By decreasing the overall carbon emission.

Q.5	Noah is exploring the impact of nutrient pollution on marine ecosystems. How does nutrient pollution, such as excess nitrogen and phosphorus, primarily affect marine habitats?
