D. In Nepal, some development and

Answer:
Nepal is a developing
country. Development and construction activities can have both positive and
negative impact on the environment. Some development
and construction activities have been conducted without considering nature and
its ecosystem. Some of their effects are negative. These activities can
lead to deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and landslides. It is
important to consider the environmental impact of these activities before doing
them. There are a number of ways to minimize the environmental impact of
development and construction activities, such as taking precaution before starting,
reducing the amount of land that is cleared for development, using sustainable
construction materials, reducing pollution, following sustainable development
policies and protecting habitats. By
taking these steps, we can help to protect Nepal’s natural environment and
ensure that development and construction activities are sustainable.

Chart Interpretation
The chart below shows the number of
men and women studying engineering in a university. Write an
interpretation of the chart.
Answer:
The bar chart below shows
the number of students studying engineering at a university. Dark bars
represent the number of men and white bars represent the number of women. It shows
the number of men and women studying engineering at a university between the
years 1992 and 2012. This data indicates a positive trend towards gender
equality in the field of engineering. The number of men studying engineering
has decreased slightly over 1992 to 2012 from 1400 to 1200. The number of women
studying engineering has increased steadily over this period, from 200 to 600.
This has led to an overall increase in the number of engineering students, from
1600 to 1800.
