Instructions ›
Read the text from an online article about urban beekeeping. Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Urban beekeeping has emerged as a crucial movement in cities around the world, aiming to support pollinator populations that are vital for the ecosystem. This practice not only helps in the preservation of bees, which have seen a significant decline in recent years, but also contributes to local food production through the pollination of plants. Many urban beekeepers share their knowledge through community workshops and social media, encouraging others to start their own hives. The harvested honey offers a sweet reward, but for most, the real benefit is the contribution to environmental sustainability and biodiversity.

Option 1: "To support pollinator populations and local food production"

Explanation: The text clearly states that urban beekeeping aims to support pollinator populations, which are essential for the ecosystem, and also contributes to local food production through the pollination of plants. This aligns directly with the main goal of urban beekeeping as described in the text.

Explanation: The text does not suggest that urban beekeeping aims to replace traditional farming techniques. Instead, it highlights the complementary role of urban beekeeping in supporting pollinators and local food production, making this option misleading.
