Read the following passage and answer the questions given below to

The geographical setting of a town is of great importance in determining the quality of urban environment, stimulating its further growth and occasionally threatening its very survival. The physical attributes of a town influence its attractiveness to residents and outsiders alike. Much of the beauty of a town is inherent in its location and surroundings and it is for this reason that planners take care in selecting a proper site for a new town. A city with hills and a rolling terrain has greater charm than a flat city; further, a city having features of scenic beauty like a lake, a river, a beach or a good view of magnificent snow-covered maintains has natural charm. On the other hand, the geographical setting of a city may pose a serious threat to its survival. Many cities of the world have been destroyed by floods, earthquakes and other natural calamities. Cities located on flood plains obviously face a threat. Often flash floods on smaller rivers are for more devastating than the flooding on larger rivers.
