Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.

A landslide is a sudden event where large amounts of earth, rocks, and soil move down a slope. Gravity is the main force that pulls the land down, but there are other causes too. The most common trigger is heavy rain. When it rains for a long time, the water mixes with the dirt. This makes the soil very heavy and slippery, causing it to slide off the hard rock underneath.

Human activities can also create this danger. Trees are very important because their roots act like a net to hold the soil in place. However, when people cut down forests to build houses or roads, the land becomes weak. Without trees, the soil is loose and can easily fall.

Landslides often happen very fast and can destroy homes or block rivers. Before one happens, you might hear trees cracking or see new cracks in the ground. If you notice these signs, you must move to a safe, high place immediately.

  • How to build strong houses on mountains

  • It softens the rock layer beneath the soil.

  • It mixes the soil with rocks and forms a harder surface.

  • It adds weight to the soil and makes it slide easily.

  • It fills the cracks in the ground and removes the soil.

What does the text say about the connection between trees and the soil?

  • The roots spread wide to absorb more water from the soil.

  • The roots connect trees together underground to share nutrients.

  • The roots form a tight structure to keep the earth from moving.

  • The roots grow deep into the rock to anchor the tree firmly.
