Question

Read the following paragraph carefully: [8]

“Global warming is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature generally due to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.”
The rising temperature around the world, has some causes and effects. The main reason for this global warming is the huge amount of carbon resulting from environmental pollution. Again, the destruction of forests adds to this problem. The growth of industries, increasing number of vehicles and the use of CFCs in manufacturing and packaging industries are also the causes of the rice temperature in the atmosphere. This increase in the world’s temperature has some fatal consequences on humans, animals, and plants.
The increased amount of heat will melt the huge ice of the polar ice-caps and thereby, the sea level will rise. Then the salty water of the sea will mix with the river water and will come into the farmlands. Then the fertility of the lands will be lost and man’s ability to grow crops will be reduced.
Furthermore, the lower regions of the world including the coastal areas of Bangladesh will go under water. Again, if the temperature rise continues, many of the species of animals will become extinct forever,
So, effective measures must be taken to prevent global warming. Planting more trees and expansion of forestation programmers can go a long way to tackle the situation. Using environment-friendly machines and avoiding the use of CFCs can also reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Taking all these steps, we could prevent global warming so that we can make our life danger-free.

Answer 1

Global warming is the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, primarily caused by the increase of certain gases, such as carbon dioxide, that trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere and prevent it from escaping.

A.

Heading: Causes and Effects of Global Warming

• Gradual increase in Earth's temp due to greenhouse effect caused by increased CO2, CFCs, pollutants.

• Environmental pollution and destruction of forests contribute to problem.

• Growth of industries, increase in vehicles, use of CFCs in manufacturing and packaging industries also contribute.

• Increased temp has consequences for humans, animals, plants.

• Melting polar ice caps causes sea level to rise, which affects fertility of land and ability to grow crops.

• Lower regions, including coastal areas of Bangladesh, may be flooded.

• Continued temp increase may lead to extinction of certain species.

• Solutions include planting trees, expanding forestry programs, using environment-friendly machines, and reducing use of CFCs.

B.

• The main cause of global warming is the increase in carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the atmosphere due to environmental pollution, the destruction of forests, and the growth of industries. The rising temperature has negative effects on humans, animals, and plants, including the melting of polar ice caps, the loss of fertile land, and the potential extinction of certain species. To prevent global warming, we can take measures such as planting trees, using environmentally-friendly machines, and reducing the use of CFCs.

Answer 2

In this question, we are asked to make notes and a summary of the given passage.

Heading: Global Warming's Causes and Effects

A

• Earth's temperature gradually rising due to the greenhouse effect brought on by increased pollution from CFCs and CO2.
• Problems include environmental contamination and forest degradation.
• Industry expansion, an increase in cars, and the usage of CFCs in the manufacturing and packaging sectors all play a part.
• Increased temperature has negative effects on people, animals, and plants.
• The ability to cultivate crops and the fertility of the land are both impacted by sea level rise brought on by melting polar ice caps.
• Bangladesh's lower regions, especially its coastal regions, could flood.
• Continual temperature rise might cause certain species to go extinct.
• Planting trees, growing forestry initiatives, utilizing eco-friendly machinery, and limiting the usage of CFCs are a few solutions.

B

The biggest contributor to global warming is the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other pollutants brought on by environmental pollution, logging, and industrialization. The melting of the polar ice caps, the loss of agricultural land, and the potential extinction of some species are just a few of the negative repercussions of the rising temperature on people, animals, and plants. We can take steps like planting trees, employing eco-friendly technology, and minimizing the usage of CFCs to stop global warming.
