Read the following passage about the Humans and the Environment and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
The relationship between humans and the environment is one of mutual dependence[I]. Humans rely on the natural

increasingly disrupted the balance of the environment[II]. Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have all
contributed to environmental degradation[III]. As populations grow and technological advancements continue, [IV].
One of the most significant environmental problems today is climate change. Human activities, particularly the
burning of fossil fuels, have caused an increase in greenhouse gases, leading to global warming. This has resulted in
rising sea levels, extreme weather patterns, and the destruction of ecosystems. If current trends continue, the impact on
both the environment and human societies could be a ticking time bomb. Coastal cities are at risk of flooding, and
agricultural systems may face disruptions due to changing weather patterns.

to reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy, and conserve natural resources. Individuals also play a crucial
role in protecting the environment by adopting sustainable practices such as recycling, using energy-efficient
appliances, and supporting eco-friendly businesses. Environmental education has become more widespread,
empowering people to take action in their own communities.
Ultimately, the future of the environment depends on our collective efforts. By prioritizing sustainability and
working together, it is possible to reduce the damage we have caused and ensure a healthier planet for future
generations. The need for global cooperation and personal responsibility has never been more critical in the fight
against environmental degradation.
