Fill in the blank (cloze passage): …others can be attributed to ______ activities such as deforestation, emissions from industry and transport.
- (a)practical
- (b)geological
- (c)human
- (d)animal
Correct — C, human. The examples that follow the blank — deforestation and emissions from industry and transport — are all things people do, so the activities must be 'human'. 'Geological' activities (like volcanism) are natural, not industrial; 'animal' and 'practical' do not fit deforestation or industrial and transport emissions at all.
- (a)practical — Means useful or hands-on; it does not name a category of activity that produces deforestation and industrial emissions.
- (b)geological — Refers to natural earth processes (e.g., volcanism, erosion); industry, transport and deforestation are driven by people, not geology.
- (d)animal — Animals do not run industry or transport or carry out deforestation; the listed causes are specifically human.
This is a cloze/vocabulary-in-context item — the listed causes (deforestation, industrial and transport emissions) are man-made, so 'human' is the only adjective the examples support.
