Question

Heavy rains yesterday in City X have caused flooding in many areas including the railway station and airport.

Which of the following are possible effects of the given cause?

I. Railways has announced a delay in the departure of three trains scheduled to start from City X this morning.

II. A number of flights were unable to land in the airport of City X last evening.

III. Finance ministry has extended the date for filing tax returns by a month.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The cause is heavy rains causing flooding in City X, including the railway station and airport.

2. Effect I states that railways announced delays for three trains starting from City X. Flooding at the railway station can cause such delays, so Effect I is a possible effect.

3. Effect II states that flights were unable to land at the airport last evening. Flooding at the airport can disrupt flight landings, so Effect II is also a possible effect.

4. Effect III states that the finance ministry extended the date for filing tax returns by a month. This is unrelated to flooding and is unlikely to be a direct effect.

**Answer:** Both I and II are possible effects.
