Before cloud computing came into existence, companies were required to download applications or programs on their physical PCs or on-premises servers to be able to use them. For any organization, building and managing its own IT infrastructure or data centers is a huge challenge. Even for those who own their own data centers, allocating a large number of IT administrators and resources is a struggle.
The introduction of cloud computing was a paradigm shift in the history of the technology industry. Rather than creating and managing their own IT infrastructure and paying for servers, power and real estate, etc., cloud computing allows businesses to rent computing resources from cloud service providers. This helps businesses avoid paying heavy upfront costs and the complexity of managing their own data centers. By renting cloud services, companies pay only for what they use such as computing resources and disk space. This allows companies to anticipate costs with greater accuracy.
Since cloud service providers do the heavy lifting of managing and maintaining the IT infrastructure, it saves a lot of time, effort and money for businesses. The cloud also gives organizations the ability to seamlessly upscale or downscale their computing infrastructure as and when needed. Compared to the traditional on-premises data center model, the cloud offers easy access to data from anywhere and on any device with internet connectivity, thereby enabling effective collaboration and enhanced productivity.

Environmental and economic impacts of crude oil and
natural gas production in developing countries
Environmental impacts that occur during the production of crude oil would mostly occur from long-term habitat change within the oil and gas field, production activities (including facility component maintenance or replacement), waste management (e.g. produced water), noise (e.g. from well operations, compressor or pump stations, flare stack, vehicle and equipment), the presence of workers and potential spills.
The adverse environmental impacts which could happen during production of crude oil and natural gas include: disturbance of wildlife due to noise and human activity; exposure of biota to contaminants; and mortality of biota resulting from collisions against aboveground facilities or with vehicles.
The presence of production wells, ancillary facilities and access road reduces habitat quality, disturbs the biota and thus affects ecological resources. Discharge of produced water inappropriately onto soil or into surface water bodies can result in salinity levels becoming too high to sustain plant growth.
Wildlife is always prone to have contact with petroleum-based products and other contaminants in reserve pits and water management facilities. Animals could become entrapped in the oil and drown, or they could ingest toxic quantities of oil, or succumb to cold stress if the oil damages the insulation provided by their feathers or fur.

Based on the text, judge the following items.
The last period of the text could be correctly rewritten,
without this changing its meaning, as Animals would, then,
become entrapped in the oil and drown, or ingest toxic
quantities of oil, or succumb to cold stress if the oil
damages the insulation provided by their feathers or fur.

In the cartoon above, the preposition “Due to” could be
correctly replaced with
The word “seeds” (line 5) means round or oval embryonic small parts released by plants from which new plants can be generated.
The verb “infuriate” (line 9) cannot be correctly substituted by the verb annoy, since they have distinct meanings.
The word “little” (line 16) is a quantifier and is used with both countable and uncountable nouns.
The term “however” (line 13) is an adverb and it means that something can be done in whatever way or manner.
Further and farther are both comparative forms for the adjective far; therefore, “further” (line 20) can be correctly replaced by farther, without a change in meaning.
The word “addressed” (line 11) shows the exact location of the equipment necessary to record the signals for the specific electrophysiology testing.
The term “resilient”, as used in line 13, means to be able to withstand adverse or challenging circumstances.
The expression “due to” (line 11) is used to introduce a cause to a situation previously mentioned.
