VII. Read the passage carefully and then do the tasks that follow.
 There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources are acid rain and car exhaust fumes.
 Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution problem of all. It has harmed aquatic life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of water. In these areas, there is no limestone in the rocks to neutralise the acid rain naturally. One remedy is to pump limestone into acid lakes. However, it is not possible to do this on a large enough scale to save all the lakes.
 Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human beings.
