Answer 1

The environmental effects of burning fossil fuels and pesticides from farming include:

- **increased temperature** (due to greenhouse gas emissions)
- **poisoning wildlife** (due to pesticide runoff and pollution)
- **smog** (resulting from emissions and pollutants in the air)

The response "increased number of habitats" is not correct, as burning fossil fuels and using pesticides generally harm ecosystems and reduce habitat quality rather than increase it.

Therefore, the correct responses are:

- **increased temperature**
- **poisoning wildlife**
- **smog**
