Match the statements from column 1 with column 2 and

Solution

The correctly matched pairs are AE, BF and CD. AE: A talks about 'net zero target' and their implication (greenhouse gases would be reduced) which would in turn neutralise environmental impacts and slow down climate change (mentioned in E). BF: B talks about the climatic changes on Mars. B ends with the adverb 'relatively' which must qualify an adjective, verb or adverb. According to this, F must follow B ('warm' is an adjective) and 'planet' refers to Mars (introduced in B). CD: C talks about the consequence of human activities 'destroying the natural world' and D elaborates on what exactly these are (extinction of animal and plant species at an alarming rate). Among the given options, CD is mentioned in option e). Hence, e) is the correct answer.
