2.
a. microorganism that cause disease
b. fungus-contact
virus – droplet of water in air

SECTION C
1. a. i. practicing logging by selection
ii. planned carefully
iii. replanting
iv. carefully when logging carried out

b.
Problem Soil erosion

Clarification of the Logging activities clear the forest cause the force of the
problem rain hit directly on the soil making it become loose and
easily to break.
Solving methods 1. replant the tree and plant cover crops
2. build the wall
3. upgrade the law
4.
Best method Replant the tree and plant cover crops; the force of the rain
not hit directly on soil and tight the soil
