I am not surprised by source F and both E and F are saying that Singapore will be able to cope and find solutions to combat climate change. In E, Mr Lee states that "We (Singapore) can make long-term solutions" implying our ability to create ways to cope with rising sea levels which is a negative impact due to climate change. In F, Ms Fu states that "By capitalising the vast potential of food innovation, we (Singapore) are actively leveraging our strengths in bio-technology process" This goes to show that Singapore is able to utilise its innovative technology to solve growing food insecurity problems due to climate change affecting global food supplies. Therefore, I am not surprised by F as E and F are both saying similar things.

# data[].attributes.body
Having read E, I am not surprised by F as they both are similar in telling me that Singapore is able to combat the impacts of climate change. E says "But because this (sea level rise) is a 50 to 100-year problem, we can implement a 50 to 100-year solution to the problem. In Singapore, for long-term problems, we can make long-term solutions.", suggesting that Singapore can cope with sea level rise as Singapore can put long-term plans in action to solve the problem, allowing Singapore to cope with this impact of climate change. Similarly, F says "Climate change has also added stress to the global food supply because droughts and floods have impacted crop yields from China, India and Africa. By capitalizing the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively leveraging our strengths in bio-technology process", suggesting that Singapore, by utilizing innovation is able to cope with the impacts that climate change has on the global food supply and production, successfully coping and preventing impacts like food insecurity. Since E and F are similar by content, I am not surprised.

Having read E, I am still not surprised by F as the claim by F that Singapore is able to cope with the impacts of climate change is supported by the background information. Just as F suggests that Singapore can cope with the issues like food insecurity that stem from climate change via innovation, the background information says "addressing climate change brings about numerous opportunities. Innovations in food production, such as vertical farming and lab-grown meat, can improve food security and bring about new business prospects.", suggesting that through innovation in agriculture, farming and food production, Singapore will be able to mitigate the impacts of food insecurity that comes from climate change to a large extent. Since the claim F is supported by the background information, F is reliable and hence I am still not surprised by F.

Ultimately, having read E, I am not surprised by F as they are both written by government officials who are responsible for governing the country, hence it is not surprising that they would both state the plans that Singapore would adopt to cope with issues like climate change for the well-being of the country. E is written by Mr Lee Hsien Loong, the Prime Minister at the time, and he says "we can implement a 50-100 year solution to this problem (sea level rise). In Singapore, for long-term problems, we can make long-term solutions", suggesting that the plan that the government will adopt to cope and mitigate the harm of sea level rise is a long term plan, protecting Singapore. Similarly, F is written by Ms Grace Fu, Singapore's minister for sustainability and the environment. When referring to climate change affecting food production, F says "By capitalizing the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively leveraging our strengths in bio-technology process." This suggests that the plan the government to cope with food insecurity is to innovate in food production and bio-technology, protecting Singapore. Since it is expected that government officials would lay out the plans Singapore has to cope with climate change, I am not surprised by F after reading E.

I am not surprised by Source F as source E is addressing the same idea. Source E is stating how " Singapore is especially vulnerable to climate change " , implying that the people of Singpapore need sot pay more attention and divert more resources to trying to prevent Singapore from being too vulnerable to the effects of Climate change. THe Source then states that Singapore "must prepare for the impact of climate change", meaning that the government is trying to take up some measures and actions into preventing Singapore from suffering too much by "the rising sea levels". Source F is also implying that " climate change has also added stress to global food supply", which is informing the people of the adverse effects of climate change on the economy and food supply of Singapore, in hope to raise awareness on Climate change in Singapore too .Source F then states the method into tackling with this climate change issue, " by capatilisng the vast potential of food innovation", this is able to allow Singapore to cope with this issue well. Since both Sources E and F are stating the effects and ways to cope with climate change, then i am not surprised by source F

I am not surprised again by the Source E as source F supports it. Source F is stating how "tackling climate change is an urgent global priority ", this is again showing that even one of the biggest technology companies like google is addressing this issue on climate change, showing how big of a problem is climate change in this society. The source then says that "long term contracts to use renewable energy such as wind and solar power", displaying Google´s way to tackle against climate change and how it is doing its part to mitigate their carbon emmsions when they are conducting their businesses. Since Souce B supports Source F , then source F is reliable , and I am not surprised by Source F

I am not surprised by source F as due to the context. During 2022 or late 2022, the whole world has been diverting its attention on the progressive worsening of climate change, which is trying to be solved by Unites Nations, ASEAN, large countries like America or China. Singapore being one of the main trading hubs in ASEAN displaying its worries and ways to tackle climate change is not surprising at all but rather expected as we will be trying to set an example for the countries surrounding us. The source shows how a minster is showing her worries towards climate change, which should be done by them, fomenting a solidarity amongst the people. This would help Singapore a lot as our vulneribilty towards climate change will drop alot if the people knows how to face it. Hence, i am not suprised by Source F due to the context it as published in

# data[].attributes.body
Having read Source E, I am not surprised by Source F as both Sources talk about how Singapore is able to tackle their own long-term problems with long-term solutions. In Source E, it states that "In Singapore, for long-term problems, we can make long-term solutions". This suggests that Singapore aims to be self sufficient over time. In Source F, it states that "By capitalising the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively levaraging our strengths in bio-technological process". It suggests that Singapore is able to find solutions to its issue of heavy reliance of imported food, and that food innovation technology can help to solve such an issue. Since both sources talk about how Singapore is able to find solutions for their pre-existing issues, I am not surprised by Source F. Having read Source E, I am not surprised by Source F as Source B supports it. In Source B, it states that "I’m thrilled to announce that in 2017 Google will reach 100% renewable energy for our global operations". It shows that corporations have found ways to reduce the impacts of climate change. In Source E, it claims that "In Singapore, for long-term problems, we can make long-term solutions." It suggests that Singapore can find ways to tackle climate change which has long term effects on the country. Since Source B supports Source E in saying that organisations and countries can find ways to mitigate effects of climate change or adapt to effects of climate change, it makes source E reliable. Therefore, since E supports source F, I am not surprised by Source F since B supports E which supports F.

I am not surprised by Source F due to its purpose. Source F was published by Ms. Grace Fu, Singapore's Minister for Sustainability and the Environment. As such, she would speak of positive things in Singapore that can mitigate or adapt to climate change. This causes the readers to feel assured that there is a way to cope with climate change, rather than worrying about the effects of it. As such, to reduce worry among the public, Ms Grace Fu would then post such things. Therefore I am not surprised by Source F due to its purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised by Source F after reading Source E in telling me that Singapore is overall able to cope or is trying to cope with all the current rising issues we are facing as a nation. In Source E, it states ''In Singapore, for long term problems, we can make long term solutions. Not everywhere, but in Singapore, yes, we can.'' This long term problem is referring to the Climate Change risk of rising sea levels. Through this statement, it shows how Singpore government is already preparing for future problems, and is ready for the financial stress it will have on the nation. In source F, it states ''Climate change has also added stress to the global food supply because droughts and floods have impacted crop yield from China, India and Africa,'' as well as ''By capitalizing the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively lefveraging our strengths in bio-technology process''. From this, it shows how Singapore has acknowledged the issues that Singapore is facing right now, and is putting in place measures to counter it. Hence, since Source E and F both state how Singapore is coping and planning for the current and future issues, I am not surprised by Source F.

I am again not surprised agaiun by Source F. since Source F highlights the dangers of rising food insecurity and its effects, because of Climate Change, source B further supports this by saying, ''I’m thrilled to announce that in 2017 Google will reach 100% renewable energy for our global operations — including both our data centres and offices. This is a huge milestone. We were one of the first corporations to create large-scale, long-term contracts to use renewable energy such as wind and solar power.'' In saying this, Source B further supports F in stating how food insecurity is an important rising issue that we are facing today and that we need to take the necessary steps against it, hence it is not surprisng when Source F states how the Singapore Government is planning actions to cope with food insecurity. Hence, since Source B supports F, I am not surprised.

I am ultimately not surprised by what F is telling me since iboth E and F are written by government officials. Since it is Singapore's government who is presenting these statements on the issues of climate change, it adds on to the sources' reliability as the government is the main group who makes the big decisions and plans for the future of Singapore. Hence I am not surprised by what F is telling me

# data[].attributes.body
No, I am not surprised by Source F after reading Source E. In Source E, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emphasises Singapore’s ability to tackle long-term challenges such as rising sea levels by planning ahead and investing in large-scale solutions. He expresses confidence that Singapore can implement long-term strategies because of its stable governance and foresight.

Source F reflects that same proactive and forward-looking approach. Ms. Grace Fu highlights Singapore’s investment in a new S$61 million cultured meat facility to strengthen food security — another major issue linked to global challenges like climate change and geopolitical conflicts. Just as Singapore is preparing in advance for climate change (Source E), it is also preparing for food-related risks by using biotechnology and innovation (Source F).

I am ultimately not surprised by source F. Both sources show that Singapore is committed to using technology, long-term planning, and investment to address serious environmental and global challenges. Source F is consistent with the ideas in Source E.

# data[].attributes.body
Having read source E, I am not surprised by source F. Both sources E and F talk about how Singapore is very capable of combating climate change and that Singapore can implement many measures and solutions to tackle the problem of climate change. In source E, it states that "this is a 50 to 100-year problem, we can implement a 50 to 100-year solution to this problem." This shows that Singapore can in fact cope with climate change in the long term and that strategies can be adopted to help Singapore combat the long term impacts of climate change that may extend into the next few decades to the next few centuries. In addition, in source E it also said that" In Singapore, for long term problems, we can make long term solutions. Not everywhere, but in Singapore, yes, we can. " This reassures the point that Singapore can effectively combat the adverse effects of climate change in a way that not every country can do. Similarly, In source F, it stated that " By capitalizing the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively leveraging our strengths in bio-technology process." this suggests that Singapore is actively dealing with its food insecurity that has been exacerbated by climate change due to more frequent droughts and floods. The fact that Singapore has tapped on bio-technology to help with its food insecurity shows that Singapore is well equipped to combat the impacts of climate change.

After reading the context of source F, I am

again not surprised by source F. Source F was a message from Singapore's Minister for sustainability and the environment, Grace Fu. So of course she would say that Singapore is coping well with climate change's impact on Singapore's food supply. Partly to reassure Singaporeans, but also to put attention on the fact that there are organisations in Singapore that are striving towards sustainable food development in Singapore. Being Singapore's minister for sustainability, it is not surprising that she would say something like that.

Ultimately, I am not surprised by what source F says. Since sources E and F were both from ministers of Singapore, it is not surprising that both sources would outline the steps Singapore has taken to manage the impacts of climate change has on it. Albeit sources E and F talking about different impacts of climate change, both sources still highlights the fact that Singapore has good solutions to combat the negative impacts of climate change. Therefore, having read source E, I am not surprised by what source F says since their ultimate goal is the same, which is to shed light on Singapore's attempt to cope with climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
Having read source E i am not surprised by source F as they are both similar in saying that Singapore can actively combat climate change and it is not a problem for singapore to worry about as they are already implementing plans to do so. This is because in source E Mr Lee states that ¨singapore is especially vulnerable to one grave threat, and that is rising sea level.¨ then he says ¨" in singapore for long term problems we can make long term solutions. Not everywhere, but in singapore, yes we can.¨ stating that climate change, in this case rising sea levels is not a threat to worry about as the government is ready to spend a fortune to solve the problem and are already planning on how to. Similarly Source F states that ¨with over 90% of our food imported, singapore is vulnerable to global supply fluctations.¨ and ¨climate change has also added stress to the global food supply because droughts and floods have impacted crop yield in china india and africa¨ however Ms Fu says ¨By capitalising the vast potential of food innovation we are actively leveraging our strengths in bio tech process.¨ this yet again shows that even though climate change is a huge threat, singapore is going to find a way to power through it through different methods and that we do not have to worry about climate change. Therefore i am not surprised by what E is saying as F is also saying the same thing.

I am yet again not surprised by Source E as source B supports it. Source B is by googles senior vice president of technical infrarstructure. He states that ¨tackling climate change is is an urgent global priority¨ and that in 2017 google will reach 100% renewable energy for our global operations¨ this shows that even Google a multi-billion dollar company takes global warming as a serious threat and is trying to take action to slow it down. This supports what source F is saying. Hence since Source B is supporting source F i am not suprised.

Ultimately after reading source E i am not surprised by F again as based on the background knowledge Mr Lee and Ms Fu are both government officials that have to govern the country and not let the citizens be afraid of climate change and that the current government has got it covered, if they do not assure the citizens that they can settle the issue. During the next election the citizens votes may sway to opposition parties that promise to settle the climate change issue. Therefore they have to mention the obvious issue but not let the citizens panic and instead let them feel a sense of relief and that they are in good hands from the current governing party. Hence i am not surprised by F after reading E.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised by Source F as both Source E and Source F agree on Singapore being vulnerable climate change. Source F states that "Singapore is espescially vulnerable to one grave threat, and that is rising sea levels" This suggests that Singapore, being a low-lying country, is susceptilble to rising sea levels and it poes a major threat to our day to day living. Source E states "Climate change has also added stress to the global food supply because droughts and floods have impacted crop yield from China, India and Africa" this suggests that Singapore is adversely affected due to the strain climate change has put on the crop yield. Espescially in a country heavily reliant on food inports for food security, with climate change affecting crop yields, this causes the amount of food available for import to greatly decrease and thus climate change will affect Singapore's food security. Since E anf F are similar by comparison of content, I am not surprised.

I am not surprised from source F due to its purpose. Source f was from Singapore's Minister of Sustainablilty, Grace Fu and it was to convince the general public of Singapore that Singapore was coping well in terms of food security.Source F states "By capitalising the vast potential of food innovation, we are activly leveraging our strengths in our bio-technology process" Showing that SIngaspore is coping well with food with food security and is developing sustainably. This ultimately will assure the residents that they are doing well in the sustainability sector and will gain trust of the Singaporeabn public

# data[].attributes.body
Having read source E, I am not surprised by source F. Just like source E, source F talks about Singapore’s vulnerability to external factors such as climate change and global supply fluctuations. Source E talks about how Singapore ‘is especially vulnerable’, referring to ‘rising sea levels’ brought about by the ‘impacts of climate change’. Singapore is a small nation with low lying land which makes it susceptible to rising sea levels flooding the country. Source F talks about Singapore’s vulnerability to ‘global supply fluctuations’. Our nation’s food security is at risk to due to current global affairs such as the Ukraine and Russia war. With Singapore having ‘over 90% of our food imported’, these global affairs our bound to have an adverse impact on our food supply. Moreover, climate change have caused ‘Droughts and floods’ further impacting food supplies on countries we depend on.

I am not surprised by source F due to its purpose. Source F is a statement made by Grace Fu, which is the Minister of Sustainability and Environment, to reassure people that food security is doing fine and theres nothing to worry about . Hence, she will make positive and optimistic statements about how well the food chain and food supply is going in SIngapore despite major events simultaneously occurring in the world , such as , Ukraine War. Furthermore, she emphasised on the part where there was increasing number of food innovations which is able to support not only Singapore’s reputation as a food innovation hub but also food technology to achieve food sustainability. This will result in people to know about how much did Singapore progress in achieving food security and sustainability and what is going to be done to further improve Singapore on food security. Since Source F is reliable by its purpose, it is not surprising.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised by F as both E and F are talking about similar issues about Singapore coping with the impacts and effects of climate change. In E it states "Singapore is especially vulnerable to one grave threat, and that is rising sea levels¨, implying that the threat is imminent and it will cause great changes to Singapore in the near future. Similarly, F also says that " Singapore is vulnerable to global supply fluctuations of late, food security has become and issue of strategic importance." Hence, due to climate change, it cause additionall issue like food insecurity which is utterly most important to humans to live.

Ultimately, I am not surprised by F as both E and F are from people in the government which is in charged in running Singapore now and for the future. Hence, I can trust their claims as I believe that these professionals now the dangers of Singapore and are finding the best ways to solve and cope with the impacts of climate change. For E, it talks about rising sea levels and for F it talks about food insercurities. Thus, I know both sources are addressing the same big issue of climate change as both are written by the same people in the government where everyone has to agree before making a statement public. As a result I am not surprised about F as after reading source E as both of them are from the same government touching on specific examples of climate change but are addressing the same bigger issue.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not suprised with source F in showing that singapore can combat the effects of climate change as it is supported by E. Source E states that "we can implement a 50 to 100 year solution to " to combat sea level rise. Further adding " not everywhere but in singapore, yes we can " thid suggests that Mr Lee is confident in singapores ability to deal with sea level rise and that there are already plans in place. Similary source F states " by captilising the vast potential of food innovation, we are actovely leverging our strengths in the biotecnolgy process" this suggests that singapores constant innovation to find alternative sources of food can reduce its reliance on other countries for food imports. This is especially crucial as climate chabge has led to lower crop yields, straining the food supply. Thus singapore has adequately prepared to deal with such issues.

Ultimately, I am not suprised with source F, as it is an official statement from an government official. Source F is simply congragulating a company for their innovation in the food technology industry. As a minister grace fu is showing singapores commitment to deal with climate change. Climate change being a global issue especially for youhts, is a concern for many singapoeeans. This ensures that singapores are assured that the government does have plans in place to mitigate the effects of climate change. Thus, based on the prupose of her statement, i am not suprised by source F in how singapore has plans in place to deal with climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised by Source F as Source E and F are similar in saying that Singapore is very susceptible to climate change. In Source E, it states that 'Singapore is especially vulnerable to one grave threat, and that is rising sea levels.' In Source F, it states that 'Climate change has also added stress to the global food supply because droughts and floods have impacted crop yield from China, India and Africa.' Both sources state that Climate change will impact Singapore in different ways, with E stating that climate will cause rising sea levels in Singapore and F stating that Climate change would affect food supplies around the world that Singapore relies on. As such, Source F is similar to Source E, thus i am not surprised.

I am not surprised by Source F as F is similar to the background information in saying that food innovation against climate change can bring economic benefits to Singapore. In Source F, it states that 'by capitalising the vast potential of food innovation, we are actively leveraging our strengths in bio-technology process' and that 'this can further cement our position in the alternative protein space and our reputation as a food innovation hub.' In the background information, it states that 'Innovations in food production, such as vertical farming and lab-grown meat, can improve food security and bring about new business prospects.'. Both Sources show that innovation in the food and beverage sector that reduces reliance on food sources that may be affected by climate change can bring business and innovation to Singapore, greatly helping our economy. Thus, since both sources are similar, I am not surprised by Source F.

I am not surprised by Source F because of when it was said. Source F was said on 10 June 2022, one year after the 30 by 30 plan was introduced in Singapore. At this time, Singapore was doubling down on actions that curb global warming, attempting to increase awareness about global warming and its impacts. This speech was most likely to talk about what Singapore can and has done about climate change. Since this speech was said at such a suitable timing, Source F is not surprising.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading Source E, I am not surprised by Source F, as both discuss how Singapore might address its long-term problems with long-term answers. Source E states, "In Singapore, for long-term challenges, we can build long-term solutions." This shows that Singapore intends to become self-sufficient over time. According to Source F, "By capitalizing the immense potential of food innovation, we are actively using our strengths in the bio-technological process." It implies that Singapore is capable of finding answers to its problem of relying heavily on imported food, and that food innovation technologies can aid in this process. Since both sources discuss how Singapore addresses its pre-existing difficulties, I am not surprised by Source F.

Having read Source E, I am not surprised by Source F, as the background material supports F's argument that Singapore is capable of dealing with the effects of climate change. Just as F implies that Singapore can deal with concerns such as food insecurity caused by climate change through innovation, the background information states that "addressing climate change creates several opportunities. Innovations in food production, such as vertical farming and lab-grown meat, can improve food security and create new business opportunities." This suggests that Singapore can significantly mitigate the effects of food insecurity caused by climate change through innovation in agriculture, farming, and food production. Since the backdrop supports F, Source F is reliable, and hence I am not surprised by Source F.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m not surprised by F since both E and F discuss comparable challenges regarding Singapore managing the consequences and impacts of climate change. In E it mentions that " Singapore is especially vulnerable to one grave threat, and that is rising sea levels ," suggesting that the danger is impending and will lead to significant alterations in Singapore soon. In a similar vein, F also states that "Singapore is vulnerable to global supply fluctuations of late, food security has become and issue of strategic importance." Consequently, because of climate change, it creates further challenges such as food insecurity, which is critically essential for human survival.

In conclusion, I am not suprised by F since both E and F come from individuals in the government responsible for overseeing Singapore presently and in the future. Therefore, I can rely on their assertions since I think these experts understand the risks of Singapore and are discovering the most effective methods to address and manage the consequences of climate change. E discusses increasing sea levels, while F addresses food insecurities. Therefore, I recognize that both sources tackle the same significant problem of climate change since they are authored by the same government officials who must reach a consensus before releasing a public statement. Consequently, I am not taken aback by F since, after reviewing source E, I see that both originate from the same government discussing particular instances of climate change while tackling the same larger concern

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised by source F after reading source E. As source E states that Mr Lee will implement long term solutions which can help to combat the rising sea levels caused by climate change. While source F states that Singapore can capitalise on the potential of food innovation which shows that Singapore is able to use technology to combat the challenges that we face to overcome them. Thus I am not surprised
