Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
According to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, over 530 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste is generated in India annually. So what can we do with all this waste? One necessary task every construction project should take is to segregate the waste and dispose the same sensibly to ensure recovery and recycling of what is possible. 

However, more than recycling, reusing materials, especially within the same project out of which they have been generated, creates a truly sustainable construction process. There are multiple possibilities of such reuse. One such is to create landscaped pathways or flooring using a mosaic of broken tiles, stone and other waste material. Another creative use of such waste is to evolve art on the building’s walls, ensuring a façade that is artistic and interesting. Other ways include using broken pieces of wire against walls to run planting on, using wood shavings as effective mulch for plants, used paint barrels as bins for recyclable waste after occupancy, and so on.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

The world's oceans are warming at a rapidly increasing pace, new research shows, and the heat is having devastating effects on marine life and intensifying extreme weather. Last year, the oceans were warmer than any time since measurements began over 60 years ago, according to a study published Monday in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences. While global surface temperature measurements go back farther in time, the measurement of ocean heat content is considered one of the most effective ways to show how fast Earth is warming because more than 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases goes into the oceans. The warming of the oceans has widespread effects. It causes marine heat waves that kill fish and coral reefs, fuels hurricanes and coastal downpours, spawns harmful toxin-producing algal blooms and also contributes to heat waves on land, said study co-author Kevin Trenberth, with the National Center for Atmospheric Research. In addition to increasing precipitation from tropical storms, rising ocean heat has consequences for sea level rise and for El Niño, Trenberth said. "In the Pacific, a consequence is El Niños being bigger, and with stronger droughts and floods around the world," he said. "Even more modest things in the tropical Indian Ocean, called the Indian Ocean Dipole, can lead to patterns of weather that contribute to the heat waves and bushfires in Australia." In late in 2019, these anomalies changed radically and it became very warm around Indonesia, creating major flooding in Jakarta and continuing the dry spell over Australia, he said. "This problem is not going to go away, it is getting worse. We are already seeing the impacts of warming on society, from rising sea levels to hotter waters to more intense storms and to more wild weather. "But this problem is solvable". "The first thing we need to do is use energy more wisely. Let's not waste energy for no reason. Let's make our cars, homes and workplaces more efficient. In the end, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money."
