Read the following passage and answer questions B and C. [Unit-6; Lesson-3(B)] The Maldives is famous as a tourist destination because of its enjoyable weather, heavenly beaches and lagoons, luxurious holiday resorts and the peace-loving people. The Maldives was ranked as the best country for beautiful beaches and facilities for recreation in 2008. The Maldives is well known for being the lowest country in the world. Unfortunately, this small country with idyllic natural beauty is under threat from rising sea levels due to global warming. Most of the country is just 1.5 meters above sea level with the highest point of 2.3 meters! Many predictions have been made with respect to the Maldives being swept away by the rising water level in the Indian Ocean. When the power tsunami of 2004 hit the island nation, many of the island's dry parts were flooded by the sea water. The government of the Maldives has begun to purchase land from the nearby countries for resettling its people in case the islands go under water! In order to highlight the threats of global warming to its low-lying islands, the government of Maldives held a cabinet meeting under water in 2009. That was the first ever underwater cabinet meeting in the world. The meeting took place about 5 meters underwater, in a blue-green lagoon on a small island. While underwater, the cabinet signed a document calling on all nations to cut their carbon emissions. B. Answer the following questions. (a) Which qualities make the Maldives a famous country? (b) Why is the Maldives well known? (c) Do you think the Maldives is in a great threat? Why or why not? (d) Why did the government of the Maldives hold a cabinet meeting underwater in 2009? (e) What have the climatologists predicted about the Maldives?
