Q.1	Sophie is keen on conserving water while tending to her garden. Which method would be the most water-efficient for watering her garden plants?
	a) Watering the garden during the hottest part of the day		b) Watering plants at their base instead of spraying all over
	c) Using a hose without a nozzle for watering		d) Adding colorful stones around the plants

Q.2	In a coastal village, villagers noticed a decline in fish population and an increase in water-borne illnesses. They discovered that untreated sewage was being discharged into the nearby ocean, affecting marine life and the health of those relying on the sea for their livelihood. What steps did the villagers take to address the declining fish population and water-borne illnesses?
	a) Dumping more waste into the ocean, decreasing marine life, and ignoring the impact on livelihoods.		b) Ignoring the problem, increasing fishing activities, and continuing to discharge untreated sewage.
	c) Encouraging more pollution, reducing fishing efforts, and avoiding discussions about water-borne illnesses.		d) Initiating a cleanup drive, treating sewage before disposal, and educating the community about responsible waste management.

Q.3	In a bid to reduce paper waste at school, Emily's environmental club initiated a campaign to promote responsible paper usage. They aimed to encourage students to adopt eco-friendly practices. Which action would BEST support Emily's goal?
	a) Printing single-sided for every document without considering alternatives.		b) Using new paper for every draft to ensure clarity and neatness.
	c) Discarding unused paper in the trash to avoid clutter.		d) Using both sides of the paper before recycling to maximise its utility.

Q.4	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.5	A farmer in a region with poor soil quality is struggling to grow healthy crops. What can be done to improve agricultural productivity in this area?
