FACTUAL PASSAGE Q 2 Read the passage given below and write the option that you consider the most appropriate in your answer sheets: (5 marks)We show an amazing tolerance for a form of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane traffic is increasing by five per cent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what is about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility? The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbours with music at night. It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a particularly dangerous form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss.Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us.
