 SECTION C
(COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS)

Answer any 5 questions out of the given 7 questions (1 x 5 = 5 marks)

27. With so many people using electricity on a daily basis—whether it is to charge their cell 1
phones or to use their TV—a lot of cables (made of plastic) must be used. Plastic destroys
our ecosystem, yet we continue to produce it. Indispensable as it may seem, it has an
adverse effect on the environment. The manufacturing of plastic is not exactly eco-
friendly. With a little help from modern technology Elif discovered a way to help curb our
plastic problem. She used banana peels as the main ingredient to make bio-plastics.
Which of the Sustainable Development Goal does this scenario relate to?
a) Life on land
b) Responsible consumption, and production
c) Affordable and clean energy
d) Sustainable cities and communities
28. Air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year. WHO data 1
shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe toxic air. From smog hanging over cities to smoke
inside the home, air pollution poses a major threat to human health and climate. The
major pollution sources include vehicles, power generation, agriculture/ waste
incineration, and industry. Harmful gases like SO2, NO2, CO are emitted directly into air
because of pollution. Deploying an air quality index monitor is one way that would help to
know the local air quality and take action to protect their health. Taking this as the
problem, choose which of the following would be the ideal problem statement template.
a) Our WHO have a problem that people breathe toxic air when smog hangs over
cities. An ideal solution would be to shut down industries and stop the movement of
vehicles in major cities.
b) Our people have a problem that they die in accidents when more number of
vehicles are used. An ideal solution would be to develop be to stop the movement
of vehicles in major cities.
c) Our people have a problem that air pollution has damaging effects on human health
when harmful gases like SO2, NO2, CO are emitted directly into air. An ideal solution
would be to develop an air quality index monitor so that one can know the local air
quality and take action to protect their health.
d) Our WHO have a problem that people die every year when there is an increase in
the number of vehicles and industries. An ideal solution would be to make sure
people stay indoors to protect their health.
