Question:
Cutting down of trees will cause the phenomenon 'global warming'. Which of the following are involved in global warming?
A: burning of trees causes the carbon in the tree to combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide.
B: Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts as a blanket to trap heat in the Earth.
Without trees, Sun heats up te Earth's surface directly.
Soil erosion will destroy aquatic life forms, which in turn will enhance global warming subsequently.

(1) A and B only
(2) A, B and C only
(3) A, B and D only
(4) A, B, C and D

Answer is (4). My son doesn't think C and D are involved in global warming. Is he correct or is he wrong. His answer is (1).

A and b are definitely correct as all the options have a and b. C is wrong as c happens only because of the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming isn't involved. For d, the life forms also refer to plants as they have lives too, and when all of them die,decomposition happens and more carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere and would thus enhance global warming. So, my answer is (3) hope this helps....

I'm not surprise at no Malay, Tamil and NTIL postings here on this thread.

When the t score is calculated. Is the standard deviation and mean for malay Tamil Chinese and ntil is separately calculated?

Should be. Cos their standard may be different.

its what i'd call a good (welcome) headache... Call me sour grapes but really when you have gotten CO for one of the top/ reputable schools and worry about such 'trivial' dilemma, parents like me can just ROLL eyes. CO is obviously from a school you had put in effort for DSA, then why gripe now?

sorry i may seem insensitive but i guess its all relative!

Just not their 1st choice DSA school, lor ....
..... but ... I Like your Post ---> :goodpost:

As far as I know, all the MT papers are pegged at the same standard. That's why picture for compo are all the same; same goes for oral. Maybe the compre passages are the same too, just translated into different languages.

So, if the tamil is tougher than Mandarin for this year, so the mean will be lower and t score will be higher?
