Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of questions.
Australia is suffering from one of its worst fire seasons in history, with more than two dozen people
killed, thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of acres burned so far. Unfortunately, fires like
this, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, will likely rage again, but Australia’s government
can take steps to minimize their destruction.
With warming temperatures, Australia will face longer fire seasons. To reduce future damage,
governments at all levels must act. Areas of focus should include enhancing early warning systems
and fire prediction capabilities; launching public awareness campaigns on the dangers posed by
climate-fueled bushfires and necessary prevention measures; conducting more controlled burns; and
developing more stringent building codes that address climate risk.
At the state and local levels, communities need to professionalize their firefighting
capabilities. They should invest in improved training that educates firefighters and local leaders
about the changing characteristics of bushfires. And, once this fire season subsides, states should
oversee how and where rebuilding occurs, including restricting redevelopment of particularly fire-
prone areas.

27. What does the passage mainly discuss?

D.Developing more stringent building codes to address climate risk

this fire season?
A. They should professionalize their firefighting capabilities.
