Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Concrete is the most widely used building material on Earth. Often called "liquid stone," it has played an important role in human history for thousands of years. History shows that the ancient Romans were the first to use it on a large scale. By mixing volcanic ash, water, and crushed rock, they built strong structures like the Pantheon, which is still standing today.

Making modern concrete requires a careful mixture. The process involves combining sand, gravel, water, and cement. In this mix, cement acts as a strong glue that holds everything together. When the mixture dries, it becomes incredibly hard. Builders prefer this material because it is very cheap and highly flexible. Before it hardens, it can be poured into almost any shape, giving engineers great freedom in their designs.

Despite its clear benefits, using concrete has a serious environmental cost. Making cement requires extreme heat, which releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. According to a 2024 report, the cement industry creates about 8% of global CO2 emissions. In fact, if the industry were a country, it would be the third-largest polluter in the world. As a result, scientists are working hard to develop greener alternatives to reduce this damage while still meeting global building needs.

  • To ban a harmful building material.
  • To overview a common material.

  • Elastic

  • Concrete is the third most produced material on Earth.

  • Global CO2 levels will fall by 8% by next year.

What can be inferred about scientists developing green alternatives?

  • They plan to return to ancient Roman methods of building.

  • They want to lower pollution while still satisfying construction needs.

  • They have already eliminated 8% of global CO2 emissions.

Based on the passage, what is the exact relationship between cement and concrete?

  • Concrete is the glue that holds cement together.
  • Cement is the ancient Roman name for concrete.
  • Cement is just one ingredient inside concrete.
