Read the following passage and decide whether each of the statements from 20 to 24 is True (T) or False (F).
On a recent trip to a small island in Southeast Asia, I witnessed an inspiring project aimed at saving coral reefs. For years, these underwater ecosystems have suffered from bleaching due to rising sea temperatures and damage from irresponsible tourism. The local community, however, has decided to fight back.
Led by a marine biologist, a team of volunteers is practicing 'coral gardening'. They collect small, broken pieces of living coral that have a chance of survival. These fragments are then attached to underwater metal frames, or 'trees', where they can grow safely, away from predators on the seabed. After several months, once the corals are strong enough, they are transplanted back onto the natural reef to help it regenerate.
The project is not just about biology; it’s also about education. The team runs workshops for local tour guides and fishermen, teaching them sustainable practices. Tourists are also invited to learn about the process and even help clean the coral fragments. It’s a slow process, but seeing the new, colourful coral growing on the frames gave me a powerful sense of hope for the future of our oceans.
Question 20. The coral reefs have been damaged only by rising sea temperatures.

I've been reading about the health effects of noise pollution. It’s not just about being annoyed; it can have serious long-term consequences. The articles I found link chronic exposure to noise with stress, high blood pressure, and even heart problems. It makes me worried about my own health. This constant noise is a form of environmental damage that feels just as pervasive as smog or plastic waste, but people don't seem to take it as seriously.

Today, I tried using noise-cancelling headphones. They help a little, but I can't wear them all the time. I feel trapped. My dream of a vibrant city life is turning into a nightmare of exhaustion. I'm starting to wonder if the benefits of living in a big city—the jobs, the culture, the convenience—are worth this sacrifice of peace and quiet. Is this really the 'future of living' we are building for ourselves? It seems we’ve forgotten that a healthy city must also be a healthy place for the human mind.
