    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

    The Ganga is the lifeblood of hundreds of millions of people in India and Bangladesh. Every day, they depend on its water for drinking, cooking and washing. Farmers rely on the river for water for their crops. Hindus worship the Ganges as a Goddess named Ganga. Yet this river is threatened by pollution and by the increasing water demands of industries, cities and a growing population.

    The Ganga begins in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. The river flows southeast across the plains of Northern India. It enters Bangladesh and is joined by the Brahmaputra river and the Meghna river. There the river's name changes to the Padma river. It forms a delta 220 miles (350 km) wide, which is shared by India and Bangladesh. Finally, the river empties into the Bay of Bengal.

    In comparison with many other major world rivers, the Ganga is short, with a length of about 1,560 miles (2,150 km) for most of its course, the river is wide and its waters are slow-moving.

    The main sources of the Ganga are Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda. The water in these rivers comes from glaciers high in the Himalayas. Melting glacial ice sustains the Ganga and its tributaries.

    Monsoon plays a major role in the life of the Ganga river and in the lives of the people who live along its banks. The monsoon can cause terrible floods in the Ganga delta region. From its mountain source to its wide delta, the Ganga flows through a variety of ecosystems.
