Part I. Choose among the choices the best answer to the given question. Write the letter of the answer BEFORE
the number, if the answer does not belong to the choices, write the CORRECT answer.

For numbers 1–2. Read the article below.
Every time you eat a sandwich or take a breath, you
are taking in elements your body needs to function
normally. For example, carbon form strong bonds
with itself and other elements. Carbon forms the
long-chained carbon backbones that are essential
part of organic molecules such as carbohydrates,
lipids, and proteins. The DNA molecule that
determines your physical features relies on the
versatility of carbon and its ability to bond with many
different elements.
For numbers 5–7. Read and analyse the case
below:
After the intensive investigation, the CEO was
interested about the main ingredient in the
manufacturing protocol which was by-products of
incomplete combustion of organic materials such as
wood, petroleum and coal. When these materials are
strongly heated in the absence of air, PAHs are
produced. According to studies, PAHs enter the
