1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

Rain is a vital part of our ecosystem and every raindrop has its unique journey. When the
clouds gather in the sky, they become heavy with moisture. Eventually, the water droplets
combine and fall to the ground as rain. This journey can begin in many places- over the
ocean, a lake or even a forest. Once a raindrop hits the ground, it may take different paths.
Some drops seep into the soil, nourishing plants and trees. Others may flow into rivers and
streams, gradually making their way back to the ocean. Along the way raindrops help

m
sustain wildlife and provide fresh water for people. The journey of a raindrop is not just

.co
about falling from the sky; it plays a crucial role in maintaining life on earth. It helps

replenish ground water supplies and supports agriculture which is essential for food
