Read the following passage about Preparing for Climate Realities We Cannot Avoid and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present reality demanding immediate attention. The concept of "deep adaptation" acknowledges that some climate impacts are unavoidable, requiring societies to prepare for disruptions while minimizing further damage. This approach differs from traditional activism by accepting certain irreversible changes while focusing on resilience. Communities worldwide are implementing deep adaptation strategies, recognizing that preparation is essential for survival in our changing world.

The first pillar of deep adaptation involves strengthening infrastructure against extreme weather. Cities are redesigning urban spaces with elevated buildings, improved drainage, and heat-resistant materials. These modifications protect vulnerable populations from flooding, heatwaves, and other disasters. Many regions are creating emergency response plans for climate-related crises. Such preparation is crucial as weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, threatening the stability of our built environment.

Food and water security represent another critical aspect of adaptation. Agricultural practices must evolve to accommodate changing seasons, unpredictable rainfall, and rising temperatures. Some communities are reviving traditional farming methods that proved resilient during historical climate variations. Others are developing innovative techniques like vertical farming and drought-resistant crops. Water conservation has become paramount, with regions implementing usage guidelines and investing in desalination. These measures help ensure necessities remain available despite environmental challenges.

The most challenging dimension of adaptation is psychological adjustment. Accepting climate realities often triggers grief, anxiety, and fear. Mental health professionals are developing specialized approaches to help people process emotions while maintaining hope. Community networks provide spaces for sharing concerns and collaborative problem-solving. This emotional resilience complements practical preparations, enabling people to face difficulties while maintaining social cohesion. By addressing both physical and psychological aspects, deep adaptation offers a framework for navigating our uncertain future.

Read the following passage about the When Cities Make Room for Nature and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Urban rewilding represents a revolutionary approach that puts nature back on the map in concrete jungles of modern cities. Unlike traditional landscaping with manicured lawns, rewilding creates self-sustaining ecosystems mimicking natural habitats. Cities are transforming abandoned lots, rooftops, and medians into wildlife corridors supporting diverse species. These initiatives beautify environments while providing ecological services essential for sustainability. By bringing nature back, planners address challenges from biodiversity loss to climate resilience, creating healthier spaces for humans and wildlife.

[I] Green spaces filter air, removing pollutants and cooling urban heat islands that affect vulnerable populations. [II] Neighborhoods with vegetation show lower rates of respiratory illness and stress-related conditions. Wildlife returns quickly to rewilded areas, with birds, insects, and mammals establishing populations within months. [III] These creatures provide pest control and pollination worth millions annually. [IV] Rewilded spaces absorb stormwater, reducing flood risks and decreasing pressure on drainage systems during extreme weather events.

Community engagement proves essential for successful rewilding projects that reflect local values. When residents participate in planning natural spaces, areas become sources of neighborhood pride and connection. Schools incorporate rewilded areas into science education, offering experiential learning opportunities. Community gardens provide fresh produce while they are teaching sustainable agriculture. Some cities have "adopt-a-spot" programs where residents maintain small rewilded areas. These approaches ensure rewilding efforts don't fall by the wayside but continue thriving with changing neighborhood needs.

Despite its benefits, urban rewilding faces significant challenges requiring innovative solutions. Zoning laws often conflict with naturalistic landscaping, requiring policy updates. Maintenance concerns arise as rewilded spaces follow different care schedules than conventional parks. Residents worry about wildlife encounters or perceive natural areas as untidy. Education campaigns address misconceptions by showing how rewilded spaces enhance safety through community use. Funding presents obstacles, though stormwater credits and carbon programs create sustainable financial models. As cities experiment with rewilding, practices emerge balancing ecological goals with human needs.

Question 31: The phrase “puts something back on the map” could be best replaced by ________.

Urban rewilding benefits extend beyond aesthetics into measurable improvements for community health.
