Deforestation takes place in certain parts of the world.
- A.
  
  True

Urbanisation does have several advantages which includes: (Select one)
- A.
  
  It relieves the population pressure on farmland.
- B.
  
  It has a birth increase effect.
Correct Answer
A. It relieves the population pressure on farmland.

Explanation
Urbanisation relieves the population pressure on farmland by attracting people to cities and reducing the demand for agricultural land. As more people move to urban areas, the need for agricultural land decreases, allowing for more efficient use of existing farmland. This can help to preserve natural habitats and promote sustainable farming practices. Additionally, urbanisation can lead to the development of infrastructure and services in cities, improving the quality of life for residents.

Conservation is the wise use of the earth's resources, so that they can support, or sustain, the generations yet to come.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because conservation refers to the responsible and sustainable use of the earth's resources. By conserving resources, we ensure that they are not depleted or wasted, allowing future generations to also benefit from them. This involves practices such as reducing waste, recycling, using renewable energy sources, and protecting ecosystems.

Ecology is the study of the interactions, interdependence and relationships in only living things on earth.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Ecology is not only the study of interactions, interdependence, and relationships in living things, but also includes the study of their interactions with the environment. This includes the study of abiotic factors such as climate, soil, and water. Therefore, the statement that ecology is the study of interactions, interdependence, and relationships in only living things on earth is incorrect.

6.

Many economic structures depend on man made resources.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that many economic structures depend on man-made resources. However, this is not entirely true. While man-made resources certainly play a significant role in economic structures, there are also natural resources that are essential for economic activities. These natural resources include land, water, minerals, and energy sources, which are crucial for various industries and sectors. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that economic structures solely depend on man-made resources.

7.

Overkill means: The amount by which destruction or the capacity for destruction exceeds what is necessary to complete annihilation.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Overkill refers to a situation where the level of destruction or capacity for destruction is more than what is required to completely annihilate something. This implies that there is an excessive or unnecessary use of force or resources. Therefore, the given statement that "Overkill means the amount by which destruction or the capacity for destruction exceeds what is necessary to complete annihilation" is true.
