II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Australia is suffering from one of its worst fire seasons in history, with more than two dozen
people killed, thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of acres burned so far. Unfortunately, fires like
this, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, will likely rage again, but Australia’s government can
take steps to minimize their destruction.
With warming temperatures, Australia will face longer fire seasons. To reduce future damage,
governments at all levels must act. Areas of focus should include enhancing early warning systems and
fire prediction capabilities; launching public awareness campaigns on the dangers posed by climate-
fueled bushfires and necessary prevention measures; conducting more controlled burns; and developing
more stringent building codes that address climate risk.
At the state and local levels, communities need to professionalize their firefighting capabilities.
They should invest in improved training that educates firefighters and local leaders about the changing
characteristics of bushfires. And, once this fire season subsides, states should oversee how and where
rebuilding occurs, including restricting redevelopment of particularly fire-prone areas.
