    112. Directions : In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five words/phrases are suggested, one of which best fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word/phrase in each case. The Klamath, which flows through Oregon and Northern California and into the Pacific Ocean, is _____________ (109) from drought and infrastructure problems. Thatā€™s caused trouble, not just for the fish in the river, but also for the tribes and farmers who ______________ (110) on it for day-to-day living. Drought conditions are so bad this year that the U.S. Department of Agriculture _____________ (111) $15 million to support farmers who donā€™t have enough water for their crops. Klamath Basin tribes are also struggling to feed their people, but so far they havenā€™t ___________ (112) such support. In fact, the Pacific Fisheries Management Council cut back the Yurok Tribeā€™s salmon allotment to little more than half of what is needed. The water in the lower basin is too warm. Why? There isnā€™t ____________ (113) water in the river for it to flow properly, so it stagnates in the sun. This is partly ____________ (114) to drought ā€” and to constant ______________ (115) over water rights upstream ā€” but itā€™s made worse by dams. Warm water allows fish diseases to spread more easily, which is why a massive number of juvenile salmon died this year on their way to the ocean.
