Q.1	Sarah is concerned about the chemicals used in water treatment. What are some of the potential drawbacks of using chlorine for disinfection? 1. Chlorine can react with organic matter in the water to form disinfection byproducts, some of which are considered harmful to human health. 2. Chlorine can contribute to taste and odour problems in the water. 3. Chlorine can be harmful to aquatic life if discharged into the environment without proper treatment.
	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Both 1 and 2		d) 1, 2 and 3

Q.2	A community is looking to reduce plastic waste in their neighbourhood. Which of the following initiatives does not align with waste reduction efforts? 1. Setting up more recycling bins in the area 2. Implementing a ban on single-use plastics 3. Distributing reusable shopping bags to residents 4. Encouraging the use of biodegradable plastics
	a) Only 1		b) Only 3

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	The team found that the absence of natural vegetation had disrupted the local hydrological cycle, leading to water scarcity in the region. What would be the most effective strategy to restore the hydrological balance in this area?
	a) Introducing more non-native plant species.		b) Constructing more dams to manage water flow.
	c) Restoring native vegetation to improve water retention.		d) Encouraging excessive irrigation to boost plant growth.

Q.5	A group of students conducted an experiment to understand the greenhouse effect and its implications. What conclusion did they likely draw about the greenhouse effect?
	a) The greenhouse effect has no impact on Earth's temperature regulation.		b) Greenhouse gases trap heat, contributing to warming the Earth's surface.
