Question

ben realizes that water has been released from the rio dam. what does he know will happen? a water will drain from the river quickly, leaving the canoe riders stranded in the rocks. b water will drain from the river, exposing rocks and more dangers to the boys as they paddle. c extra water will raise the level of the river, causing the rocks to be further down and the river to be calmer. d extra water will cause the underwater waves to get deeper and the water will get even more violent.

Explanation:

When water is released from a dam, more water enters the river. This will cause the water - level to rise, submerging rocks and making the river calmer as the flow is more even. Option A and B suggest water draining which is incorrect. Option D about underwater waves getting more violent is not a typical direct result of dam - released water.

Answer:

C. Extra water will raise the level of the river, causing the rocks to be further down and the river to be calmer.
