Paragraph 3 Question 25: In which paragraph does the writer mention how James Watt's work helped people travel around faster? A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 2 D. Paragraph 5 Read the following passage about and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 26 to 35. Global warming is one of the most pressing issues of our time, caused by a rapid increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. (I) Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, release large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. (II) These gases trap heat from the sun, creating a "greenhouse effect" that warms the planet. (III) While the Earth's climate has changed throughout history, the current rate of warming is unprecedented and poses serious challenges. (IV) The impacts of global warming are far-reaching. Rising temperatures are causing polar ice caps and glaciers to melt, leading to higher sea levels. This puts coastal cities and low-lying areas at risk of flooding. Additionally, warmer oceans can intensify hurricanes and other extreme weather events. Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns disrupt ecosystems, threatening wildlife and leading to biodiversity loss. Global warming also affects agriculture, with heatwaves and droughts making it harder to grow crops in some regions. Addressing global warming requires urgent action. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key to decelerating climate change. Governments, industries, and individuals all have roles to play. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power can significantly cut emissions. Protecting forests, which absorb CO2, and investing in energy-efficient technologies are also critical. By working together and adopting sustainable practices, we can mitigate the effects of global warming and secure a healthier future for our planet. Question 26: Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit? "Scientists have long warned about the dangers of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations." A. (I) B. (II) C. (III) D.
