Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a communication by river routes is obstructed
  2. b crop production increases
  3. c hydroelectricity will be produced

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a communication by river routes is obstructed

When rivers dry up, farming, trade, fish culture and communication stop.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b crop production increases: When rivers dry, crops suffer; production does not increase.
  • c hydroelectricity will be produced: Hydroelectricity needs flowing water; a dry river does not produce more.
  • d natural beauty will increase: When rivers dry, riverside trees die; beauty does not increase.
