Question 6 of 14intermediate🔍 AnalyzeEssay3 marks

What would happen to the green plants around us if each one of us thought only of our own needs?

Correct Answer

If each person thought only of their own needs, green plants would be destroyed very quickly.

People would take more than they need without considering others or the environment. Plants would not get a chance to grow back, leading to barren land.

This would harm animals, birds, and humans who depend on plants for food, oxygen, and shelter.

Eventually, there would be scarcity for everyone.
