  • A) It was suitable for farming
  • B) It could filter and purify water
  • C) It could produce oxygen
  • D) It contained valuable minerals

However, a new problem arose. Our greenhouse faced frequent dust storms that damaged the crops and disrupted the water supply. We brainstormed again and devised a system to protect the greenhouse and redirect the storm's impact.

What problem occurred due to dust storms?

  • A) Power outage
  • B) Crop damage and water supply disruption
  • C) Running out of food
  • D) Water contamination

We constructed a sturdy dome around the greenhouse and installed advanced filtration systems to prevent dust infiltration. With these precautions in place, our crops thrived, and our water supply remained uninterrupted.

What did the community construct to protect the greenhouse from dust storms?

  • A) A sturdy dome
  • B) A rocket ship
