1. What is the primary focus of **Green Skills** in the context of environmental sustainability?

Developing new forms of economic growth. Creating more job opportunities in the industrial sector. Enabling individuals to contribute to environmental sustainability by adopting eco-friendly practices. Promoting the exclusive use of fossil fuels.

2. **Sustainable development** involves balancing which three crucial aspects?

Economic stability, political power, and cultural preservation. Fossil fuel use, resource depletion, and pollution reduction. Economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. Industrial production, consumer demand, and technological innovation.

3. Which statement best defines the concept of **Sustainable Development**?

Using all available natural resources at an increased pace for rapid economic development. Fulfilling current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Prioritizing environmental protection over economic growth and social needs. Developing only renewable energy sources and stopping all industrial activity.

4. An example given for sustainable development is using **solar energy panels** because it reduces dependence on:

Wind power, which is unreliable. Natural gas, which is a common household fuel. Fossil fuels, thereby conserving resources and reducing pollution. Hydro power, which causes ecological damage.

5. Which of the following is an **Environmental Challenge** resulting from greenhouse gas emissions, causing global temperature rise and extreme weather?

Resource Depletion Waste Management issues Climate Change Soil Contamination

6. **Resource Depletion** is caused by the excessive use of which of the following natural elements?

Water, forests, and minerals. Solar energy, wind, and biomass. Solid waste, air, and noise. Oil, coal, and natural gas.

7. Which of the following is **NOT** listed as a source of **Renewable Energy** in the 'Green Technologies and Practices' section?

Biomass energy. Fossil fuels. Wind energy. Hydro energy.

8. The application of the **3Rs** (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) is a key practice for minimizing:

Resource Depletion. Soil Degradation. Water Wastage. Waste.

9. What is the primary benefit of practices like **organic farming** and **crop rotation** under Sustainable Agriculture?

Increasing dependence on chemical fertilizers. Speeding up soil degradation. Reducing the need for irrigation water. Preventing soil degradation.

10. In what way does **Information Technology (IT)** contribute to environmental sustainability by affecting documentation?

By increasing the demand for paper to print IT reports. By replacing all physical documents with new hardware devices. By enabling digital documentation that reduces paper consumption. By improving the recycling process for paper products.

11. IT tools support environmental **decision-making** by helping with:

Designing new types of non-biodegradable materials. Enabling manual counting of resources. Helping track resource usage and enabling data analysis. Building physical models of rainwater harvesting.

12. Which two techniques are explicitly listed for **Water Conservation** to reduce water wastage?

Organic farming and crop rotation. Rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation. Using solar and wind energy. Digital documentation and waste segregation.

13. Which of the following is **NOT** a direct environmental challenge mentioned in the text?

Pollution (Air, water, and soil). Climate Change. Global poverty. Resource Depletion.

14. Increasing solid waste primarily causes what environmental problem according to the text?

Global temperature rise. Soil and water contamination. Excessive use of forests. Ozone layer thinning.

15. Activity 2, the **Energy Consumption Audit**, requires using **spreadsheet software** to create charts for what purpose?

To document the benefits of the audit in a report. To create a physical model of electricity production. To analyze usage patterns and suggest ways to save energy. To design a digital poster on energy conservation.

16. Which software is suggested in Activity 1 for writing the report documenting the benefits of rainwater harvesting?

Graphic design tools. Spreadsheet software. LibreOffice Writer or MS Word. Presentation software.

17. The digital poster in Activity 3 is focused on the importance of segregating which two categories of waste?

Paper and plastic waste. Industrial and household waste. Biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Recyclable and non-recyclable waste.

18. Besides providing clean energy, installing solar panels in a school also serves the purpose of:

Creating more greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing dependence on fossil fuels. Educating the community about sustainable practices. Promoting soil contamination.

19. Green Skills are crucial for promoting sustainable development in which two specific contexts mentioned in the introductory section?

Local and global. Academic and non-academic. Rural and urban. Personal and professional.

20. Which IT-related action is suggested for Activity 4, the Renewable Energy Presentation?

Recording electricity consumption for one week. Designing a digital poster for waste segregation. Creating a simple physical model of rainwater harvesting. Preparing a slideshow including images, videos, and data from reliable websites.
