Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The world is losing its wildlife at an alarming speed. In the last 40 years, half of all wild animals have disappeared. Scientists predict that by 2050, almost 90% of animals will lose parts of their natural homes, such as forests. We must make big changes soon to protect these species before it is too late.
One company, led by Gautam Shah, is using technology to help. They create mobile apps that connect people with nature in creative ways. For example, one app uses Augmented Reality (AR) so you can take a "selfie" with a rhino or a bear. The animal looks real in your photo, even though it isn't actually there!
Another app challenges you to stay active by racing against real animals. It tracks the movement of snow leopards and tigers, and you must try to run further than they do. You can also play a game where you act as a scientist in South-East Asia. In this game, you study real photos and learn how experts work to save wildlife.
Gautam Shah believes that young people are the key to saving the planet. Today, over 2.1 billion people play games on their phones. If all these players become interested in the environment through these fun apps, they can work together to change the world and save our animals.
According to scientists, how much of the animal population may lose parts of their natural habitats by 2050?
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a consequence of wildlife loss?
Disappearance of forests

Tips for using less plastic
The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable. But in the meantime, here are five things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use 1,000 billion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent of them are used in the United States alone. That is almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Dane uses four single-use bags per year, thanks to a plastic bag tax introduced in 1993.
Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
Do not use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of beverage you like. Some cities in Australia have completely or partially banned bottled water. Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.
Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Do not buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for 2 supermarkets to have plastic-free areas.
Recycle. We cannot recycle all plastic items, but it is possible to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 2.5 kroner per bottle.
About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year.
Plastic straws were banned in Seattle in 1993.
People around the world buy about a million plastic bottles every day.
In the United Kingdom, consumers are not encouraged to buy liquid soap in plastic containers.
Norway uses machines to collect plastic bottles in the supermarkets.
