V. Look at the list of predictions for the future and complete the sentences saying what will happen in, or will/may have happened by, the years given
Predictions for the future
2002 Dramatic rise in the world population
2005 Cars banned from all cities centres
2010 People settle on the moon
2015 Animals discovered on other planets
2020 World peace achieved
2025 Food supplies run out
2030 War with beings on other planets occurs
By 2002, the world population had indeed experienced a significant increase, although the term "dramatic rise" is subjective and depends on specific parameters and perspectives.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, cars have not been banned from all city centers by 2005. However, some cities have implemented restrictions or regulations to reduce vehicle traffic and encourage alternative modes of transportation.
As of 2021, people have not settled on the moon by 2010. Human lunar colonization remains a goal for future space exploration, but no permanent human presence has been established on the moon thus far.
As of 2021, there have been no confirmed discoveries of animals on other planets by 2015. The search for extraterrestrial life is ongoing, but any such discovery would be a significant scientific breakthrough.
World peace has not been achieved by 2020. Conflicts and tensions persist worldwide, and achieving global peace remains a complex and ongoing challenge.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, food supplies have not run out by 2025. However, it is important to note that food security is a global concern, and it is crucial to work towards sustainable agricultural practices and equitable distribution of resources to avoid potential future crises.
Since my knowledge cutoff is in September 2021, I cannot provide information on whether a war with beings on other planets occurs by 2030. It is important to note that such a prediction falls into the realm of speculation and science fiction, as we currently have no confirmed knowledge of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
