Correct Option: 1
- Climate change is not the only cause for flooding.
Reasoning: This sentence sets up the discussion by introducing the idea that there are other factors contributing to flooding, leading naturally into the explanation about infrastructure. - Flooding can happen after heavy or low rainfall.
Reasoning: This sentence does not set up the specific discussion about infrastructure's role in flooding as effectively. - Infrastructure can actually cause a lot of trouble during flooding.
Reasoning: This sentence is somewhat redundant since the subsequent sentences already explain how infrastructure causes flooding problems. - Water retention is less important to prevent flooding.
Reasoning: This sentence is incorrect as it contradicts the passage's message about the importance of water retention in preventing flooding.
