The Earth's environment faces many challenges today. Air pollution, deforestation, and water scarcity are all critical issues affecting the planet. In urban areas, industrial activities and vehicle emissions contribute to high levels of air pollution, which can lead to respiratory problems for residents. According to the World Health Organization, around 90% of people worldwide breathe polluted air.

Deforestation is another significant problem. Large areas of forest are being cut down for timber, agriculture, and urban development. This not only destroys the habitats of countless species but also contributes to global warming. Forests absorb carbon dioxide, and without them, more greenhouse gases remain in the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect.

Water scarcity is a third major issue impacting the environment. As populations grow, demand for water increases, leading to shortages in many regions. In places like the Middle East and North Africa, water scarcity is already a reality, causing tensions among communities. Conservation efforts and technology are helping to address these problems, but much more work is needed.

Efforts to combat these environmental challenges include international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius. Many countries are also investing in renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Additionally, individuals can make a difference by reducing waste, conserving water, and using public transportation.

Plastic bags are used by everybody, From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone s seems to use them Even though they are one of the modem conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the outcomes that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags

Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap. strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods, About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. : And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world the numbers can be staggering The problem is further worsened by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.

Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the

environment. Once the become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags, Many animals ingest plastic bags mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal : One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic.

A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment: however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bi to save our planet.

Question 1: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate thecorrect answer to each of the questions.

Music is a universal and integral part of our lives, influencing us in various ways. It connects people across cultures, and we often find ourselves listening to music while running, walking, showering, and driving. Music frequently elevates our mood, leading us to wonder about its broader effects.

Listening to music engages the entire brain and offers numerous benefits. Daniel Levitin, a psychologist at McGill University, has studied the neuroscience of music and found that it has significant positive effects. Music can reduce anxiety and pain, sometimes even more effectively than medication. In studies, patients who listened to music before surgery were calmer than those who received medication. Music's ability to release endorphins contributes to a happier state and helps distract from pain. Additionally, it can alleviate symptoms such as headaches and seizures by boosting the immune system through the release of immune-boosting

hormones.

Music affects various parts of the brain, including the hippocampus, which controls emotions, and the prefrontal cortex, which handles intense emotions. This influence extends to mood regulation and cognitive functions. For example, music therapy can aid stroke victims in regaining speech. Moreover, music significantly impacts mood: upbeat songs can enhance feelings of happiness through increased serotonin and dopamine, while sad music might lead to a lower mood and decreased motivation.

Music also affects sleep patterns; relaxing music can improve sleep quality, making it beneficial for those with insomnia. Conversely, energetic music can increase motivation and productivity. Studies from Pennsylvania State University emphasize that music can make people feel happier, more relaxed, or more optimistic.

The impact of music varies with individual experiences and preferences. Research shows that while we all perceive music differently, its effects are deeply personal and tied to our past experiences. This may explain why we remember songs from years ago more vividly than recent information. Overall, music's profound influence on our mood and well-being suggests that it could have significant effects on health, potentially rivaling those of traditional medicine.

Music can reduce anxiety and pain, sometimes even more effectively than medication. In studies, patients who listened to music before surgery were calmer than those who received medication. Music's ability to release endorphins contributes to a happier state and helps distract from pain. Additionally, it can alleviate symptoms such as headaches and seizures by boosting the immune system through the release of immune-boosting

hormones.

Music affects various parts of the brain, including the hippocampus, which controls emotions, and the prefrontal cortex, which handles intense emotions. This influence extends to mood regulation and cognitive functions. For example, music therapy can aid stroke victims in regaining speech. Moreover, music significantly impacts mood: upbeat songs can enhance feelings of happiness through increased serotonin and dopamine, while sad music might lead to a lower mood and decreased motivation.

Music also affects sleep patterns; relaxing music can improve sleep quality, making it beneficial for those with insomnia. Conversely, energetic music can increase motivation and productivity. Studies from Pennsylvania State University emphasize that music can make people feel happier, more relaxed, or more optimistic.

The impact of music varies with individual experiences and preferences. Research shows that while we all perceive music differently, its effects are deeply personal and tied to our past experiences. This may explain why we remember songs from years ago more vividly than recent information. Overall, music's profound influence on our mood and well-being suggests that it could have significant effects on health, potentially rivaling those of traditional medicine.
