Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Indiscriminate use of resources by human beings has led to the following problems:

1. Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few individuals, threatening the needs of future generations.
2. Global ecological crises such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, environmental pollution and land degradation due to overexploitation of resources.

• The question asks for any two problems, so pick two distinct points from the textbook list of three.
• The most commonly expected answers are resource depletion and ecological crises (or accumulation in few hands causing rich-poor divide). Stick to textbook language — examiners check for key terms like "global warming," "ozone layer depletion," "land degradation."
• Each point should be briefly explained, not just named — that's what earns both marks.
