correct answer to each of the following questions from 7 to 12.
Water pollution can be caused by a variety of things. Firstly, sewage is dumped directly into the
seas without being treated properly. This is a global problem, with equally significant challenges in
high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Sewage pollution has reduced the water quality and
posed several threats to human health. Secondly, cruise ships release a large amount of garbage into
the ocean every year. 40 percent of cruise ships depend on 30-year-old waste treatment technology,
leaving sewage with high levels of bacteria, heavy metals and other pollutants that are harmful to
aquatic life and people. The third reason is oil spills. Oil spills happen in many different ways. Most
of these spills are small and happen accidentally, for example oil spills while refueling a ship. But
these spills can still cause damage, especially if they happen in sensitive environments. Large oil
spills are disasters. These tend to happen when pipelines break, or big oil tankers sink. The negative
