All the major rivers in the state have been flowing way over the danger level for the past few weeks. Which of the following is/are the possible effect(s) of the above cause? A. Many villages situated near the river banks are submerged forcing residents to flee. B. Government has decided to provide alternate shelter to all the affected villagers residing near the river banks. C. The entire state has been put on high flood alert

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given cause: all major rivers are flowing well over the danger level for several weeks. Sustained high river levels increase the likelihood of overflowing banks and widespread flooding.

2. Effect $A$ (many villages near the river banks submerged): If river discharge exceeds channel capacity, adjacent low-lying settlements get inundated. Sustained high levels make submergence of riverside villages a direct and likely consequence.

3. Effect $B$ (government provides alternate shelter): Persistent flooding and submerged villages force evacuations. Standard emergency response is to provide alternate shelters for displaced residents, so this is a plausible and expected effect of the cause.

4. Effect $C$ (entire state put on high flood alert): When major rivers across the state remain above danger levels, authorities typically issue high flood alerts statewide to coordinate warnings, evacuations, and resource mobilization.

5. Since the cause logically leads to $A$, $B$, and $C$ as plausible consequences, all three effects can occur together. Therefore the correct choice is all A, B and C.
