    • Ommissions

    • Gas

    • Emissions

    • Fumes

    Correct Answer
    A. Emissions
    Explanation
    Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When released into the atmosphere through human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, it traps heat from the sun and prevents it from escaping back into space. This leads to an increase in the Earth's temperature, causing global warming and climate change.

    Correct Answer
    A. Worked
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "worked". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the verb "worked" is the correct past tense form of the verb "work". The phrase "Having been working" is in the present perfect continuous tense and does not fit grammatically in this sentence.

"Within" suggests that the resumes are contained within a file, but it does not specify the location. "On the" is incorrect because it is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in this context.
