Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank number 1.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. effects.
"Effects" refers to the outcomes or consequences of something, which fits the context of the passage talking about the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation.
The other options do not fit:
Renounce means to reject or give up, which doesn't make sense here.
Affects is a verb, not a noun, so it doesn’t fit in this context.
Practice refers to the action or repeated performance of something, which is unrelated here.
