Read the following passage about wildlife conservation 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 23 to 30.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavour that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. This
effort is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human activities
such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife. Conservation
initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National parks,
wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered species. These
areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism, which can
benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has
been successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully
monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By educating the
public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense of
responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite tracking,
DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor wildlife populations
more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient conservation strategies.
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a threat to wildlife?
A. Deforestation B. Pollution C. Climate change D. Urbanization

Read the following passage about climate change 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.
[I] Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting ecosystems, biodiversity,
and human communities across the globe. [II] Scientists warn that unless greenhouse gas emissions are
significantly reduced, the Earth's climate may experience irreversible damage. [III] The consequences of
climate change are widespread, impacting weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and health conditions
worldwide. [IV]
One of the primary causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, which
releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. This gas traps heat, leading to a rise in
global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. Another major contributor is deforestation, as
trees play a critical role in absorbing CO₂. When forests are destroyed, that CO₂ is released, adding to the
atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
The impacts of climate change are already evident in various forms. Rising sea levels are causing coastal
erosion and increasing the frequency of flooding, which endangers millions living in low-lying areas.
Additionally, extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more common
and severe. These events not only damage infrastructure but also pose serious risks to human health and food
security.
Addressing climate change requires a collaborative, global response. Many governments have joined
international agreements, like the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit global temperature rise and reduce
emissions. However, it is crucial for individuals and businesses to also play a part by reducing their carbon
footprint through actions such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy
sources.
