Question 15

To conserve water at home, we need to identify actions that reduce water waste or use water efficiently.

• "leave sprinklers on all day" wastes water, so not a conservation method.
• "fix leaky faucets and pipes" prevents water from leaking, conserving water.
• "water the lawn every day" uses excessive water, not conservation.
• "use toilets that use less water" (low - flow toilets) reduces water usage per flush.
• "turn off faucets while brushing teeth" stops water from running unnecessarily, conserving water.
• "take longer showers" uses more water, not conservation.

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "by increasing the amount of water they use" would worsen water issues, not help.
• "by building more places to store water" is not a typical way factories help with water issues (factories are for production, not mainly water storage).
• "by building taller buildings near the coast" is unrelated to water issues.
• "by reusing the water used to make things" helps conserve water, which is a way factories can address water issues.

Answer:

B. fix leaky faucets and pipes, D. use toilets that use less water, E. turn off faucets while brushing teeth
