Question

I have a simple worksheet simplest answer shall be marked brainliest
I. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Once again, a vigorous monsoon so vital to India’s economic fortunes has left some States in shambles. From Assam to Karnataka, heavy rainfall in a short span of time has created paralysing floods that have taken a heavy toll of life, wiped out crops and destroyed hard-earned assets. When the waters recede, a familiar cycle of assessment of damage by Central teams, preparation of loss estimates and expensive restoration work such as repairs to river embankments, will follow. Yet, the hundreds of crores of rupees periodically spent on flood preparation, relief and research in the State have not yielded results to reduce the impact of heavy rain. The swollen river invariably dissolves the weak earthen barriers overnight. Now that another furious season is providing fresh insight into the causes, effects and impact of deluge in north eastern India and elsewhere, it is time the Centre took a coordinated view in tackling the crisis. To begin with, it has to review the effectiveness of the flood forecasts issued by nearly 180 specialised stations. New artificial wetlands may have to be created to compensate for those that have already been built over. The spectacle of flooding and destruction should convince the Environment Ministry that it is useless to sanction large real estate projects without an environmental impact assessment. Some real estate companies have been slapped with penalties by the National Green Tribunal for encroaching upon lakes, but urban planning agencies are equally responsible and must also be called to account for impliedly sanctioning the violations.
