Question

what is a good way to practice water saving?
a. avoiding leak repairs in fixtures
b. using low - flow showerheads in bathrooms
c. leaving taps running constantly
d. using excess water on all occasions
what is a benefit of energy conservation?
a. higher emissions from daily activities
b. increased reliance on fossil fuels
c. ignoring all energy - saving measures
d. reduced energy use and preserved resources

Explanation:

First Question (Water Saving)

To determine a good water - saving practice, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Avoiding leak repairs would lead to water waste as leaks let water escape, so it's not a water - saving practice.
• Option b: Low - flow showerheads are designed to use less water while still providing an adequate shower, so this is a good way to save water.
• Option c: Leaving taps running constantly wastes a large amount of water, so it's not a water - saving measure.
• Option d: Using excess water on all occasions is the opposite of water saving.

To find the benefit of energy conservation, we examine each option:

• Option a: Higher emissions from daily activities are a negative outcome, not a benefit of energy conservation. Energy conservation usually leads to lower emissions.
• Option b: Increased reliance on fossil fuels is not a benefit. Energy conservation aims to reduce the use of energy resources, including fossil fuels.
• Option c: Ignoring all energy - saving measures goes against energy conservation, so it's not a benefit.
• Option d: Reducing energy use means we consume less of our energy resources, which helps in preserving them. This is a clear benefit of energy conservation.

Answer:

b. Using low - flow showerheads in bathrooms
