Question and options
__________________ Infrastructure, in the form of paved surfaces, disrupts water absorption and lowers water retention. This leads to disastrous levels of flooding which diminishes the biodiversity and impoverishes the people of the region. Land should be used mindfully to prevent water logging during heavy rains.
- Climate change is not the only cause for flooding.
- Flooding can happen after heavy or low rainfall.
- Infrastructure can actually cause a lot of trouble during flooding.
- Water retention is less important to prevent flooding.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Climate change is not the only cause for flooding.
The paragraph introduces infrastructure as an additional (non-climate) cause of flooding, so the opener 'Climate change is not the only cause for flooding' fits. The sentence about infrastructure causing trouble 'during' flooding speaks of effects during floods, not of causing them.
