VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Forests are vital to life on Earth. We all depend on forests in one way or another for survival. First of all, forests are often called the ‘lungs of the planet’. It is because trees have the ability to provide an essential of life for all living creatures on our planet – oxygen, and the power to purify the air we breathe by removing harmful gases like carbon dioxide. Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water, and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. As a by-product of that chemical reaction, oxygen is produced and released by the tree. It is believed that one large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people. Moreover, forests help prevent soil erosion and retain soil nutrients. The roots of rainforest trees and vegetation hold the soil in place and help water soak into the ground instead of flowing over its surface. Tree foliage helps rainwater go into the soil rather than wash over it, and reduces the force of raindrops on the soil. Rows of trees which are planted closely together can work like a windbreak. It helps limit the force of the wind and protect the top most fertile layer of the soil from being carried away easily. In addition, forests can also soak up excess rainwater, preventing run-offs and damage from flooding.

A. The importance of forests in our life B. How photosynthesis works

A. Because forests maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. Because forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
C. Because forests convert water and carbon dioxide into chemical compounds.
D. Because forests use the energy of the sun to remove harmful gases like carbon dioxide.
