	a) Only 1		b) Only 2
	c) Only 1 and 2		d) 1, 2 and 3

Q.2	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.3	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?
	a) Replace it with a newer, energy-efficient model.		b) Unplug the refrigerator when not in use.
	c) Adjust the temperature settings to a higher level.		d) Fill the refrigerator to capacity for better insulation.

Q.4	Imagine you are a scientist investigating the environment, and you came across a graph showing the global trend in greenhouse gas emissions over the past 50 years. The graph clearly indicates a significant increase in emissions. What can be inferred from this data?
