SHORT-ANSWER QUESTION
Question 1
The pictures below expose pollution which occurs in many countries, specifically throwing
garbage into the river. Pollution has become a major problem which is actually caused by
human activities and it has led to harming the ecosystem. Explain with your own thoughts,
what kind of activities can make the pollution worse and what can we do to solve this
problem?

Question 2
Camouflage is a disguise to blend in with the surroundings. One of the examples of
camouflage in the ecosystem is when an animal blends in with the surrounding environment
to deceive its predator.
There is a group of preys in a National Park in Africa which can make a large crowd of black
and white color. When the prey realize that a predator are coming to attack them, they will
run together in group. When they run, they look like a crowd of black and white color and
the predator cannot see the existence of the prey anymore. This is called a disruptive
coloration camouflage. What animals do you think is the prey and predator from this
information? Also, mention another animal that is able to do the camouflage in nature.
Prey
Predator

There was an echo which happened because the sound waves went back and forth
on the spring.
There was a small sound that eventually got bigger because vibration began in the middle
of the spring.
There was a very little unclear sound because the sound could not travel well through iron
wire.
There was a loud and very clear sound because the sound resonated in the paper cups.

The Eskimos in the Arctic Archipelago have already known how to adapt well with their
environment since a long time ago. The materials and construction of their houses are special.

What is the correct reason behind that phenomenon?
A.
B.
C.

Shadow movement occurs because the Sun rotates.
Shadow movement occurs because the Sun revolves.
Shadow movement occurs because the Earth
revolves.
Shadow movement occurs because the Earth rotates.
Snow is a good insulator that prevents the heat release from the igloo to the outside.
Snow is a good conductor that receives the heat easily from human body.
The dome shape is good for the heat release.
Igloo does not have any ventilation to prevent leaking of the heat to the air outside.
