Question

From the article “Day Zero” is approaching in Cape Town, what can we infer from the following passage?
“Cape Town is one of many communities around the world concerned about water shortages. The southwestern and western regions of the United States are facing extreme drought conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Almost 40 percent of Oklahoma is in a severe drought. Oklahoma produces a lot of crops. Drought conditions could stunt the growth of crops, lower the rate of food production and increase the probability of wildfires.”
Question 4 options:

a)

Only Africa will face water shortages

b)

All of these could be correct

c)

No country on Earth is immune from water shortages

d)

Cape Town is facing a severe water problem

Answer 1

Answer:

C) no country on Earth is immune from water shortages

Explanation:

C is the correct answer because both Cape Town, Africa and even the southwestern and western regions of the United States can face water and drought problems too. In other words, not only Cape Town, Africa faces these types of challenges but also other parts of the world including the USA. So, no country on Earth is immune from water shortages.
