Question

A newspaper headline reads ‘Flooding in Delhi due to cyclone’. What do you find wrong in the headline?

Answer 1

Answer:

The right headline would be- ‘Flood in Delhi due to cyclone

Explanation:

• Here in this sentence, the ‘flood’ would be used instead of ‘flooding’ because flooding is the act and flood is the condition that occurred in the place.
• Flood occurs when there is an overflow of water because of rainfall in large amount.
• So, the headline should indicate the flood that took place not the act of that flood.
• As the flood occurred because of the cyclone, so it should be depicted as its consequence not as its act.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Delhi is in inside the country and not in an coastal area so it cannot experience flood or any cyclone and also Tamil Nadu experience due to cyclone.
