Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question from 6

The environment is a vast, linked system that includes the air we breathe, the water we
drink, and the plants and animals around us. It provides essential resources like clean air, water,
and fertile soil.
However, our environment is facing serious problems due to human activities. Pollution from
factories and cars contaminates air and water, affecting plants, animals, and humans. Climate
change leads to more extreme weather, like stronger storms, severe floods, year-long droughts,
and widespread flooding which can affect agriculture and lead to food shortages.
To help protect our environment, everyone can make a difference by adopting simple habits.
Recycling helps reduce waste and conserve resources while saving energy by turning off lights
and electronics when they’re not in use. Supporting local and sustainable products, such as food
grown without harmful chemicals, also benefits the environment. Additionally, participating in
community clean-up events or tree-planting activities can help restore natural areas.
By understanding the importance of the environment and taking small steps to care for it,
we can all contribute to a healthier planet. Every action counts, and together we can make a
positive impact on our world for ourselves and future generations.
