Q.1	A local farmer notices a decrease in insect populations in his fields. This decline coincides with the decrease in crop yield as well. He remembers recently switching to a new type of pesticide. What connection can be made between these observations? A. The pesticide killed the insects, which were helping the crops grow. B. The pesticide is making the soil less fertile, so the crops cannot grow properly. C. The decrease in insects is due to a natural change in the environment. D. The farmer's observations are unrelated to his pesticide use.
	a) A only		b) A and B only
	c) B, C and D only		d) A, B, C and D

Q.2	Anya is shopping for a new appliance. She knows that appliances can be a source of fossil fuel emissions when they are used. What are some things that Anya can do to choose an energy-efficient appliance?
	a) Look for the Energy Star label.		b) Choose appliances with the highest energy efficiency rating.
	c) Consider the size and capacity of the appliance to ensure it meets her needs.		d) All of these

Q.3	Alex noticed an increase in the demand for water and energy due to urbanisation. What could be a potential environmental consequence?
	a) Reduces pressure on water resources and promotes energy conservation.		b) Leads to water scarcity and energy consumption, impacting natural resources.
	c) Ensures sustainable use of water and energy.		d) Enhances life of aquatic animals

Q.4	Sasha's family decided to participate in an energy-saving competition. They were surprised to learn that their old refrigerator consumed the most electricity. What alternative could they consider to minimise energy consumption and keep food fresh?
