Adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle also offers health benefits. Living in cleaner environments with reduced pollution levels can lead to better “respiratory” health and a lower risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, consuming organic and locally sourced foods can provide better nutrition and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. While some people initially think that green living requires a high investment, it actually leads to significant long-term savings. Energy-efficient homes and appliances reduce utility bills, and sustainable practices often result in less waste, leading to lower disposal costs. Moreover, supporting local and sustainable businesses can stimulate the economy and create jobs. In conclusion, adopting a green lifestyle not only benefits the environment but also enhances personal health and offers economic advantages. By making conscious choices and embracing sustainable practices, individuals can contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone. Question 23: The word “This” in paragraph 1 refers to _________.

Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. Even though natural energy sources are considered the future solution, we have harnessed them for a long time. For example, windmills were used to grind grain. However, human beings are increasingly becoming reliant on using fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which has caused a lot of environmental problems. As a result, scientists are attempting to preserve the environment by using renewable sources such as solar, wind and many other types. For billions of years, the sun has produced energy. The amount of sunlight striking the earth's surface in an hour can meet the planet's power needs in a full year. Sunlight is harnessed to generate two forms of energy: electricity and heat by using solar panels or solar absorbers, which can be installed on residents' rooftops or open areas. [I] Wind power can also be used to generate electricity through wind turbines. The size of a wind turbine depends on the energy demand. [II] For example, the amount of electricity that is required inside a high-rise building can be provided by small turbines with a capacity of under 50 kilowatts. On the other hand, large corporations that produce energy for sale need to install huge wind turbines at the power plant scale, with a capacity from 1.5 to 7.5 megawatts. [III] As a natural power to generate electricity, hydroelectric power utilises a dam or diversion structure in the process of harnessing the energy of a flowing river or other body of water. [IV] However, dam construction can negatively affect the ecology of a river and nearby agricultural activities. In fact, it might have a huge impact on the
