Answer 1

To fill in the blanks correctly, let's look at each sentence and the options for each blank:

1. The correct word to describe the water is "same" (C), implying that it's the exact water that has been recycled over time.

2. The appropriate word here is "use" (B), as it indicates that we continually use and reuse the water available to us.

3. The suitable word for this blank is "ends" (D), as it conveys the idea of waste and rubbish ending up or accumulating in rivers.

4. "Throwing" (B) fits best here, indicating the action of discarding waste and rubbish into water.

5. The word "damage" (A) is the correct choice, as it refers to the harm caused to the environment by pollution.

So, the answers are:

1) C - same

2) B - use

3) D - ends

4) B - throwing

5) A - damage
