point) I Read the passage below carefully, and then choose the best answer Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population Controversy frequently surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom For example, a river may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory Farmers, fishers, and industry leaders vie for unrestricted access to this river, but such freedom could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for future use Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries For example, the headwaters, or source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country through which the river flows There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream In addition, the way in which one natural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources Cutting down a forest near a river, for instance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead to flooding Eroded soil and silt cloud the river and adversely affect many organisms such as fish and important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater for survival What does “arise” in line

A necessary B major C fresh D aquatic When conflicts decline? A when natural-resource shortages increase in the features of gradually increasing demands from a rising human population B when a natural resource crosses political borders C when freedom could destroy the resource D when eroded soil and silt cloud affect many organisms What may bring water to agricultural irrigation? A a river B topsoil C erosion D a forest Which sentence below is not correct? A Argument often surrounds how a source should be used, or allocated, and for whom B A river may provide water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and watergenerated electricity for a factory C Conservation methods are incidental to care for the river for future use D Farmers, fishers, and industry leaders vie for open access to this river Which sentence below is true?
