Read
the following passage carefully and then answer question 191 – 200. Write the
letter of the correct answer in your answer sheet.
Pollution is the release
of unwanted materials such as plastic bags, cans, untreated waste products,
smoke etc. into the land, atmosphere, rivers and oceans. These disturb the
natural process of the earth. These materials are known as pollutants. Very often,
these pollutants are waste products from industrial, agricultural or domestics
processes. The earth has natural processes which are very good at breaking down
and recycling natural wastes. However, waste had become excessive in most
environments and the natural recycling systems have become over loaded.
There are different kinds
of pollution such as air, land and water pollution. The air we breathe can be
dirty and dangerous because of the pollutants it may contain. This could lead
