While great strides have been made in healthcare and reducing poverty, this success has often exploited natural resources. The health of the planet is critical for human well-being, as seen with climate change exacerbating problems like extreme weather, flooding, droughts, and diseases. Protecting planetary health requires recognizing the interdependence of human and environmental well-being.

1. While we've made great strides to increase life expectancy, reduce poverty and
build a robust health care system, much of this success has simultaneously
exploited essential resources.
It's become more apparent that the health of the planet is a critical
component of living cohesively with the natural world. (1) "Planetary
health" is a term that measures human well-being against the earth's
well-being. (2) These issues can be seen with regard to climate change-
human behaviours have exacerbated global warming. bringing extreme
weather events and rising sea levels. (3) Humans become more
susceptible to diseases when flooding occurs. (4) Food production also
falters amid prolonged droughts and heat waves. These climate
challenges have affected many people living in vulnerable parts of the
world.

2. SENTENCE:
Myths tend to have a core of truth.
If great masses of people maintain a certain belief over long periods of
time, one can be fairly sure that there is something in it. (1) This doesn't
mean that the belief in question is true, but it's unlikely to be complete
nonsense either (2) For many centuries, everybody thought that the Sun
moved around the Earth, which isn’t true; but it was a rational belief all
the same, because the evidence seemed to support it. (3) Much the
same goes for paranoia. (4) It isn't true that creatures from Saturn have
placed a secret device in your skull to beam your every thought to a
control centre in the Glastonbury Tor, but it's true that a mighty amount of
surveillance goes on, much of it secret.

3. SENTENCE:
This impersonal approach results from the desire to isolate and assess
economic developments in a rational way.
There is a long-standing tendency to think of the economy' as a detached
yet volatile force that has shaped people's lives throughout history. (1)
Yet, that process in itself limits the appeal of economic history by
detaching it from the real-life experiences of individuals and
communities (2) In other words, economics is one of the principal
reasons for economic history's lacklustre reputation. (3) If instead those
real-life experiences are placed at the centre, the subject has the potential
to come to life. (4) That is precisely what draws me to economic history.
It is a way to make sense of how people of the past negotiated with the
material world around them, including, it should be stressed, other people
(hence the common pairing of economic and social history).

4. Envy is also often seen as a fact of life as it is associated with competition for
resources and status in society.
Envy is destructive because it blocks cooperation and creates politics; the
undercover, disguised forms of undermining behaviour that manifest
themselves when good ideas are trashed, and malicious gossip is spread. (1)
Perhaps the biggest catalyst for growth of envy in the organisation is the
fact that many will not admit to feeling envious after all, this is à taboo
emotion in work settings. (2) Employees don't want to talk about it to their
superiors or among themselves, fearing that this is personally demeaning,
leaving superiors in the dark or with little information of how to broach
envy with their staff. Unconscious envy can be particularly destructive
because people cannot identify and name it and thus call envy under more
socially legitimate terms such as undeserved outcome: (3) Envy is
omnipresent and manifests itself as a continuum from low to high envy. (4)
Most people would not admit to feelings of envy either to themselves or to
other people, not just because they feel embarrassed but they are also afraid
of losing social respect and power.

5. This is in response to their clients being more proactive in supporting
products and services that are environmentally responsible.
As awareness of the need for more environmentally friendly practices grows, more and
more businesses are putting a premium on environmental protection. _(1)
Companies increasingly embrace environmentally sound practices and policies to
reduce their carbon footprints and other environmental impacts. (2) More
consumers are conscious of their habits in search of a more sustainable future, and
businesses are following suit through socially responsible operations. Last year
several Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft, Unilever, and Citigroup,
signed up for a Business for Nature statement calling on governments worldwide to
do more to reverse nature loss (3) Because millions of people are demanding urgent
action to resolve biodiversity degradation, companies should continue to explore
solutions that will embed sustainability into the core of their work. (4) Technology
can play a significant role in that aspect because green innovations can radically
transform the landscape of business operations from cooling data centres to digital
business cards to 5G connectivity.

6. We no longer believe a Zeus or Apollo is pulling strings behind the scenes of
the sensible world, but we are more Greek than perhaps we know.
The ancient Greeks seem to us the paradigmatic fatalists, their literature
grappling with the unequal relationship between gods and humans. Perhaps
for this reason we call them superstitious. (1) For fate is everywhere these
days. 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina were both called acts of divine
retribution. (2) Popular television shows like Lost and Heroes insist that
everything happens for a reason. (3) The sales of astrological and New-Age
books and paraphernalia are booming. The advertisements for psychics and
clairvoyants are nearly inescapable. (4) What could explain our fascination
with the supernatural? Our modern, secular world is driven almost entirely
by unregulated globalization, so the pervasiveness of the Fate industry, with
its language of guidance and determinism, is surprising. This situation
reflects a contradiction between official and unofficial belief, for we are
ready to believe there is a larger purpose behind seemingly random events,
that our futures, however shadowy, have a definite shape.

7. SENTENCE
The war shaped the writings of Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos.
The American Expeditionary Forces arrived in Europe in 1917 and helped turn
the tide in favour of Britain and France, leading to an Allied victory over
Germany and Austria in November 1918. (1) By the time of the armistice,
more than four million Americans had served in the armed forces and
116,708 had lost their lives. (2) It helped forge the military careers of
Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton, and George C. Marshall. (3) On
the home front, millions of women went to work, replacing the men who
had shipped off to war, while others knitted socks and made bandages. (4)
For African- American soldiers, the war opened up a world not bound by
America's formal and informal racial codes.

8. Anger can be an instrument of liberation.
Anger has gotten a bad rap. It is condemned by the world's religions and in
many philosophical traditions; we'd be better off ridding ourselves of
rage, they say, and condemning fury to the flames. Religious
injunctions against anger are unsettling in part because they can be
used as a form of social control (1) Anger is a necessary evil in an
imperfect world. (2) It can stir those who have been oppressed to rise
up against injustice.(3) It can motivate rebellions against tyranny and
fights for civil rights. (4) We've seen anger put to powerful use in the
Me Too movement, and it is a rallying call that brings people to the
polls and to the streets.

9. Such usage can serve to dehumanize animals, which can then make them more
vulnerable to abuse.
If we pay attention to our everyday speech patterns, we can notice the frequent
use of animal metaphors, including phrases, idioms, proverbs and similes.
(1) Yet that is not necessarily a good thing (2) Some experts have explained
that we use animal imagery metaphorically in order to talk about various
aspects of life, which is a habit that can create a false impression of the
animal world. Worse: instead of real encounters with them, we often
approach nonhuman animals through folktales, fables, and legends. (3)
Through common usage certain tropes can influence people's attitudes
towards certain animal species (4) Our conceptual frameworks are
composed of discourses and ideologies, which influence how nonhuman
animals are viewed by people in general.

10. Alarmingly, even unborn children who are exposed to these chemicals in utero
are at risk of developing mental disorders such as autism, the scientists say.
Chronic air pollution is an acute health hazard and the more we learn about its
insidious effects on our bodies, the worse the picture gets.(1) Adding to the already
large corpus on research about medical conditions airborne pollutants can cause or
worsen from pulmonary ailments to mental ones, scientists have found that
neurotoxic particles in polluted air can impact the nervous system, especially in
children, including unbom ones,(2) Children living in urban areas with high levels
of air pollution are more prone to develop cognitive disorders, which have been
linked to their long-term exposure to neurotoxicants found in exhaust fumes and
other traffic-related pollution. (3) Importantly, both the verbal and nonverbal
mental abilities of children exposed to these toxins in the air are affected as a
result. (4) The findings of this research are in line with earlier findings that
indicate that air pollution is responsible for worsening a whole host of mental
conditions from learning disabilities in children to early-onset Alzheimer's disease
in adults.

11. Infact,most"odd"lettercombinationsinEnglishoftencome-directlyfromtherootlanguages.
Many Germanic words that came into English early on use vowel shifts to make
their plurals: man becomes men, mouse becomes mice, goose becomes geese.
Moose, on the other hand, is an Algonquin word from the New World, so it doesn't
become meese. (1) English-French words tend to have plurals and, indeed, general
spellings that have been made more "English," but only recently. Peers of Jane
Austen would be forgiven for writing "she felt a strong connexion with the owner
of so many chateaux" rather than -connection and chateaus.(2) If you know that
manoeuvre comes from the French, it's easier to guess how it's spelled, because
you're more likely to think of combinations like ma(i)n (hand) plus oeuvre (work).
(3) Similarly, those tricky -ible endings go with most Latin words, while - able
endings go with almost all others. (4) The word diarrhoea seems unnecessarily cruel
in English, but is spelled in a way that would make perfect sense to an ancient
Greek.

12. I've found that the closer it cuts to the bone, the funnier it is
Making people laugh connects us to one another. But what humour
endures? For me, it's personal life stories and experiences. Life, twisted
and moulded until you find the funny, will always evolve, and therefore
endure. (1) The beauty of life is that everyone is similar in some way.
While we may not have the same experiences, everyone can relate to
observations on life, family and the varieties of behaviour we all
encounter every day as we go about life. (2) Humour is helpful in one's
everyday life. It can end tense situations. (3) In my life, humour has
ended arguments at home and on too many working sets to mention. (4)
Finding the humour can break tension immediately.

13. Even a little healthy food goes a long way.
In 2015, researchers from Australia's Deakin University published one
of the first studies measuring food's physical effect on the left
hippocampus, the brain region crucial for memory, learning and
decision making. The study found that the left hippocampus was
heftier in the healthy eaters than in the unhealthy ones, suggesting
that eating the right foods and skipping the wrong stuff could help
protect against declines in thinking and memory that lead to
dementia (1) Healthy eating doesn't just prevent brain decline. (2) It
boosts scores on thinking and memory tests, according to a study
published in March 2019 "Plant-based diets have antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory effects that may protect against cognitive decline
and dementia," says lead researcher Claire McEvoy. (3) According
to a 2018 study at Chicago's Rush University, participants who ate
just 1.3 extra servings of green leafy vegetables a day demonstrated
cognitive abilities similar to those of people 11 years younger.(4) A
January 2020 study in the journal Neurology showed that getting
just 15.3 milligrams a day of plant compounds called flavonols was
associated with a 48 per cent lower risk of Alzheimer's-like
dementia.

14. Solutions lie in re-evaluating our relationship with nature by treating it not as a
resource to be endlessly exploited but as a depository of inherent value that
needs to be protected from further manmade depredations.
We must stop waging war on nature and "make peace with it if we want to
avoid cataclysmic environmental harm to the planet. (1)_ We'll need to
tackle climate change, reduce appalling levels of air and water pollution,
and protect and restore biodiversity. Much of economic growth worldwide
has been in tandem with an unsustainable exploitation of nature, which has
tripled the extraction of natural resources and created a planetary
emergency (2) Forests have been felled, oceans have been overfished,
rivers have been badly polluted. (3) "Despite a temporary decline in
emissions due to the pandemic, Earth is heading for at least 3°C of global
warming this century, more than 1. million of the estimated 8 million plant
and animal species are at substantially increased risk of extinction; and
diseases caused by pollution are currently killing some 9 million people
prematurely every year," the United Nations Environment Programme
explains. (4) Innovations in sustainable technologies and greener business
models will also be essential to undo the harm we have inflicted on the
planet.

15. In contrast with the things we see, we often are unable to agree on the quality
of a smell, what it is or what it's like.
Smell is commonly thought to be a highly subjective sensation,
especially in comparison with vision. (1) The same smell can cause
diverse reactions among individuals, eliciting different qualitative
descriptions as well as opinions about whether they find an odour
equally pleasant or unpleasant. (2)_ But smell is not as subjective as
you think. Of course, human responses to odours vary substantially
(3) Even the same person routinely experiences the same odour as
markedly different depending on the context. But such variability is
not the same as subjectivity. Subjectivity implies that the reason for
experience is not based on causes of the external world but exists
only in one's mind. A subjective perception does not possess reality
beyond a subject's experience, and it has no truth conditions set in
the objective material reality of the world. (4) But with olfaction
there is an objective basis in which a particular variation is
grounded.
