The answer to question 9 is the second one: "The ozone layer is in the earth's atmosphere and plays an important role in maintaining life on earth."

Explanation for each option:

  • The first option is incorrect because the ozone layer itself is not harmful; it actually protects life on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
  • The second option is correct because the ozone layer is indeed in the Earth's atmosphere and it plays a crucial role in protecting life by filtering out harmful UV radiation.
  • The third option is incorrect because chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) actually contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, not its protection.
  • The fourth option is partially correct in that the ozone layer is in danger, but it is not solely due to fossil fuels; CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances are the primary culprits.

The answer to question 10 is: Both part A and part B are true.

Explanation:

  • Part A is true because biological pollution can indeed be caused by the decomposition of food waste that contaminates the water supply.
  • Part B is also true because runoff, which can include pollutants from agriculture, urban areas, and other sources, is a known form of water supply contamination.

Summary: 9) The correct statement about the ozone layer is: "The ozone layer is in the earth's atmosphere and plays an important role in maintaining life on earth." 10) Both part A and part B are true regarding biological pollution and water supply contamination.
