Dear Teacher,

After conducting this round of the quiz, and selecting the highest scorers, please could you share the correct answers
with the students. This will help prepare them for the next level, and in general, will increase their knowledge and

Each correct answer gets one point. In case of a tie, the student with the maximum number of correct answers to the

Moreover, we at WWF – India believe in conserving natural resources. Do not throw your questionnaires. Kindly
choose one of the following options to recycle the waste question papers:
Option 1: Recycle by giving them to your local scrap dealer or the waste paper recycling units in your schools or cities.
There are online websites such as www.thekabadiwala.com which provide such services.
Option 2: Recycle to create craft items (e.g. paper mache). You can send pictures of creations to
