Completed Paragraph:
Pollution is the contamination of the 1) environment. There are many types of pollution, but principally we have four: 2) air pollution, 3) water pollution, land pollution and 4) noise pollution. The cause of air pollution are the 5) cars’s airplanes, or factories’ 6) smoke, water pollution is caused by oil spill and 7) industrial waste, land pollution is the consequence of throwing industrial or home 8) garbage, and the causes of noise pollution are the vehicles or machines’ noise, 9) horns of cars, and even 10) music loud. Therefore, the existence of human health problems such as breathing disease, stress, cholera, death of 11) animals or 12) plants and global warming which in the end they are all the effects of pollution.

1. environment — Pollution affects the entire natural world around us — air, water, land — so “environment” is the broad, correct term.
2. air — The image shows hot air balloons and a clear sky, symbolizing the atmosphere/air. Air pollution is one of the main types.
3. water — The image shows a faucet pouring water, indicating water pollution (e.g., from chemicals, sewage).
4. noise — The image shows a man covering his ears with sound waves, clearly representing noise pollution.
5. cars — The image shows a red car; cars emit exhaust fumes that pollute the air.
6. smoke — The image shows smoke rising from a factory chimney — this is a classic visual for industrial air pollution.
7. industrial — Factories produce toxic waste that gets dumped into water bodies — “industrial waste” fits perfectly.
8. garbage — The image shows a pile of trash/bottles/plastic — this represents littering and solid waste causing land pollution.
9. horns — The image shows a person honking a car horn — horns are a major source of urban noise pollution.
10. music — The image shows people listening to loud music from a speaker — excessive volume from music systems contributes to noise pollution.
11. animals — The image shows various animals (penguin, turtle, cow, etc.) — pollution kills wildlife.
12. plants — The image shows flowers — pollution (acid rain, soil toxins) harms plant life too.

✔ Note: In blank 5, the original text says “the 5) _______s airplanes”, which seems to be a typo. It should probably read “cars, airplanes” — so “cars” is the best fit. Also, “cars’s” is grammatically incorrect — it should be “cars’” (plural possessive), but since this is a fill-in-the-blank exercise, we go with “cars”.

✔ Final Answer Summary:
1) environment
2) air
3) water
4) noise
5) cars
6) smoke
7) industrial
8) garbage
9) horns
10) music
11) animals
12) plants
This completes the worksheet accurately based on both textual clues and visual cues.
