Here's the solution to the worksheet, with explanations for each answer:
---
1. The world is all the people, places and nature
✔ Correct Answer: C. on the planet Earth
Explanation:
The text at the top says: *“The world is everything that is made up of the people, places and nature on Earth.”*
This directly matches option C. The other options (neighborhood, large country, small continent) are too small — they’re parts of the world, not the whole world.

2. What is a global community?
✔ Correct Answer: A. everyone in the world
Explanation:
The text says: *“A great community includes the whole world. Everyone who lives on the planet Earth is part of this community.”*
That’s exactly what “global community” means — everyone on Earth. The other options describe smaller groups (same school, same neighborhood, same small community), which are local or regional, not global.

3. How many people live on the planet Earth?
✔ Correct Answer: B. 8,000,000,000
Explanation:
The text clearly states: *“There are over 7 billion people in the world.”*
As of recent estimates (and as taught in elementary school materials), the world population has surpassed 8 billion. So while it says “over 7 billion,” the closest and most accurate choice given is
8 billion (8,000,000,000).
(Note: Option D is 10 billion — too high; C is 2 billion — too low; A is 10,000 — way too low.)

4. How can people who live in different countries be part of the same community?
✔ Correct Answer: C. They are all part of the global community.
Explanation:
Even though people live in different countries, the text defines the “global community” as including *everyone who lives on the planet Earth*. So regardless of borders, languages, or cultures, all humans are part of one big global community.
Option A (same neighborhood) and B (same school) don’t apply across countries. Option D is vague and doesn’t match the definition given in the passage.
