Climate change, which affects every corner of our planet, has become one of the most urgent issues of our time. Scientists have been tracking global temperatures for decades, and their findings reveal a disturbing pattern of warming. If we had taken serious action twenty years ago, many of the worst effects could have been avoided. The data shows that Earth's average temperature (18)_________; this seemingly small increase has already caused significant disruptions to weather patterns worldwide. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities; increasing temperatures lead to more frequent and severe heatwaves. The fact that polar ice caps are melting contributes to both rising seas and changing ocean currents, (19)_________. In many regions, traditional farming practices are being disrupted by unpredictable rainfall and extended drought periods. (20)_________. The evidence from climate models, which is becoming more precise every year, suggests that each additional half-degree of warming will multiply these harmful effects substantially. Extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, (21)_________. Understanding the true impact of warming requires measuring not just temperatures but also these cascading effects on human societies and natural systems. Furthermore, developing nations, (22)_________, often suffer the most severe consequences due to limited resources for adaptation. Recent international climate agreements, although promising in theory, have failed to produce the rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that would be necessary to prevent catastrophic warming.

Question 18:

  1. whom recorded dramatic shifts throughout various countries since decade
  1. which occurred across multiple regions where experienced extreme weather

C. has risen by more than one degree Celsius since the pre-industrial era

D. having change substantially within global ecosystems during recent years

Question 19:

  1. an evidence which debate scientists could potentially lead to effective policy solutions

B. an observation whether researchers believe strongly affect regional climate patterns

C. a phenomenon that scientists monitor closely to predict future environmental changes

D. a discovery what experts claim has increasing significance for understanding natural systems

Question 20:

  1. Global temperatures continue rising rapidly climate scientists warn immediate action needed
  2. Renewable energy solutions become widespread, traditional power sources remain dominant worldwide
  3. Although many countries pledged significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030

D. Vulnerable ecosystems such as coral reefs are being destroyed by ocean acidification and warming waters

Question 21:

  1. and wildfires are becoming more intense due to the extra energy and moisture in our atmosphere
  2. renewable technologies advance rapidly traditional fossil fuels remain the primary energy source worldwide
  3. while ocean temperatures continue rising affecting marine ecosystems throughout all global coastal waters
  4. extreme weather events occur more frequently, scientists attribute this to climate change patterns

Question 22:

  1. where experts documented changes but fails to implement proper solutions

B. which have contributed least to historical emissions and continue to do so

C. was experiencing severe impacts yet continued receiving minimal aid

D. scientific evidence supports sustainable policies across all regions
