Ans. 2.

The scientific discoveries and inventions have, to a large extent, to the welfare of human race,
but the danger to the human existence has also increased. The modern wars with virulent
germs, poisonous gases and nuclear weapons and missiles are a standing danger to the human
race. These wars contaminate the environment to a great extent making it unfit for survival of
human beings and other creatures on earth. are various such sources that are a standing
danger to the human race. Pesticides, insecticides pollute the environment and make breathing
very difficult for living creatures. These pollutants also turn water undrinkable. Heat and smoke
from homes and factories also pollute the air. Population explosion all over the world in spite of
family-welfare measures is yet another factor that contributes to pollution. In both the developing
and developed countries this growing menace
stays and accentuates the position.
Government may adopt strict measures to checkmate it. A deep concern is being manifested all
over the world about this standing menace. Deforestation today due to population growth and
land usage has resulted in reduction of oxygen in the environment, thereby disturbing nature’s
balance. Various species of living organisms have extincted from the earth due to this.
We should join hands to make this world a better place to live. Through efforts in afforestation,
creating awareness amongst people, and education leading to eradication of poverty and
population growth, we can protect our mother earth.

To: Polly Harbison

From: Dawn Batchelder

Subject: Caspani Newspaper Article

This is about the newspaper article that was published highlighting your views on Caspani
sales.
Due to your response to the press regarding Caspani’s fall in sales, the company has been
very disturbed. Such an unpleasant act by our employee will not be appreciated.
I will have to ask you not to speak to the press in the future as this has not only affected
Caspani’s goodwill but ours too. Kindly write a note of apology to Caspani explaining to them
that you have been misquoted.
Also, please ask to offer a special market test of Caspani’s new shirt co-ordinates that are
popular in European fashion circles. This may even mean that you have to re-allocate your
budget, which is totally up to you.
I hope this will be taken in the right spirits and not be repeated in future as it is unwanted by
potential employees such as you
