Q.1	During a class project on ocean ecosystems, a student argued that overfishing only affects fish populations and doesn't influence other marine organisms. Which statement provides the most accurate perspective on this issue?
	a) Overfishing primarily affects larger fish species.		b) Overfishing is beneficial as it controls predator populations.
	c) Overfishing can disrupt the entire marine food web.		d) Overfishing has no significant impact on marine ecosystems.

Q.2	Your once-sunny city seems shrouded in a hazy cloud of smog, especially during winter. Cars and factories are the main culprits, but everyone suffers from breathing difficulties and reduced visibility. Which air pollutants from fossil fuels are likely contributing to this smog, and how can your city combat these issues?
	a) Fine particulate matter from car dust and industrial activities traps pollutants in the air, worsening smog. Investing in public transportation and green spaces can alleviate the problem.		b) Carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas from fossil fuels, directly contributes to smog, and the solution lies solely in switching to renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
	c) Nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide from vehicle exhausts and factory emissions combine with sunlight to form harmful smog, which can be tackled by promoting electric vehicles and stricter emission regulations.		d) Smog is primarily caused by natural phenomena like dust storms and forest fires, and the city should focus on preparing for these events rather than blaming fossil fuels.

Q.3	Sarah wanted to contribute to recycling efforts in her community. She collected various items like plastic bottles, glass jars, and old newspapers. How should Sarah effectively segregate these items for recycling?
	a) Recycle all the magazines without thinking.		b) Throw away the magazines because they're old.
	c) Reuse some magazines for crafts and recycle the rest.		d) Keep all the magazines because they're pretty.

Q.4	In a coastal city, citizens are concerned about the decreasing number of mangrove forests. What role do mangrove forests play in protecting marine ecosystems, and how can their depletion harm marine life?
	a) Mangroves prevent erosion and provide habitats; their depletion can lead to loss of breeding grounds for fish and increased coastal erosion		b) Mangroves absorb excess nutrients; their depletion can lead to overgrowth of marine plants and decreased oxygen levels in water
	c) Mangroves reduce ocean acidity; their depletion can lead to coral bleaching and loss of biodiversity		d) Mangroves filter pollutants; their depletion has no significant impact on marine life

Q.5	During a study of a deciduous forest, students encountered an interesting phenomenon related to tree species. They realised that certain trees played a vital role in supporting biodiversity. What specific characteristic of deciduous trees contributes to their importance in maintaining biodiversity, and how does it influence the forest ecosystem?
	a) Evergreen foliage; providing year-round shelter for diverse bird species and promoting avian diversity.		b) Rapid growth rates; outcompeting other plant species and enhancing overall plant diversity.
	c) Climbing vines; offering vertical habitat structure and promoting arboreal animal diversity.		d) Seasonal leaf shedding; creating nutrient-rich leaf litter and supporting diverse decomposer communities.

Q.6	Create an experiment using two plant pots, one covered with plastic wrap and the other left uncovered. Which observation would support the idea that greenhouse gases contribute to warming?
	a) The covered pot shows lower soil moisture compared to the uncovered one.		b) Both pots exhibit similar temperature increases.
	c) The covered pot shows a greater temperature increase than the uncovered one.		d) Both pots show a decrease in temperature.

Q.7	In a lush rainforest, there is a diverse ecosystem with various plant and animal species. The interactions among these organisms involve multiple feeding relationships. What term best describes this intricate network of interconnected food chains?
	a) A diagram showing the transfer of energy in a straight line from one organism to another.		b) A sequence of organisms in an ecosystem, representing the transfer of energy from producers to consumers.
	c) A network of interconnected food chains, showing the complex feeding relationships in an ecosystem.		d) A diagram illustrating the process of photosynthesis in plants.

	a) Hydroelectric power generates electricity consistently, regardless of weather conditions.		b) Hydroelectric power works in many different regions, unlike solar and wind limited by location.
	c) Hydroelectric power requires larger land areas than solar or wind farms.		d) Solar and wind power have higher energy conversion efficiencies than hydroelectric power.

Q.10	During science class, students learned about waste separation and its significance. Which practice best aligns with responsible waste separation?
	a) Mixing plastic, paper, and glass together in the same bin for collection.		b) Composting food waste along with plastic wrappers.
