Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Two functions are already in the figure.

Hint 2

Does the environment give only renewable resources?

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The figure shows the environment's functions: providing resources and assimilating waste, with two blanks. The other two vital functions are sustaining life (genetic and bio-diversity) and providing aesthetic services (scenery).

  2. "Generates waste" is not a function, and the environment provides both renewable and non-renewable resources, so (iii) and (iv) are wrong. Option (A).

    1 mark

Answer: (A) (i) and (ii)

Where the marks are

  • Four functions: resources, assimilation, sustaining life, aesthetic services (1 mark)
