At the most upstream part of the Lualaba river there is a storm event that causes a flood. Which two of the statements below are more reasonable?
Multiple Choice
1)People from Moanda will not suffer any effect of the flood event
2)In Brazzaville the flood will last longer than in Kisangani
3)In Mbandaka the peak will be higher than in Kinshasa but lower than in Lisala
4)In Ubundu the water discharge will be higher than in Kinshasa

2)In Brazzaville the flood will last longer than in Kisangani
3)In Mbandaka the peak will be higher than in Kinshasa but lower than in Lisala
Based on the information given, the two more reasonable statements are:
3) In Mbandaka the peak will be higher than in Kinshasa but lower than in Lisala
4) In Ubundu the water discharge will be higher than in Kinshasa
To determine which two statements are more reasonable, let's break down each statement and evaluate their plausibility based on the given scenario.
1) People from Moanda will not suffer any effect of the flood event.
This statement suggests that Moanda, a location along the Lualaba river, will not experience any consequences from the flood. However, since the flood is occurring upstream, there is a high likelihood that the floodwaters will flow downstream and affect Moanda as well. Therefore, this statement is not reasonable.
2) In Brazzaville, the flood will last longer than in Kisangani.
This statement compares the duration of the flood in two different locations along the Lualaba river, Brazzaville and Kisangani. Since the storm event causing the flood occurred upstream, it is reasonable to assume that the floodwaters will take longer to reach Brazzaville compared to Kisangani. Therefore, this statement is reasonable.
3) In Mbandaka, the peak will be higher than in Kinshasa but lower than in Lisala.
This statement compares the peak water levels of the flood in three different locations: Mbandaka, Kinshasa, and Lisala. Since the flood event is occurring at the most upstream part of the Lualaba river, it is more reasonable for the peak water level to be higher in Mbandaka compared to Kinshasa. However, without knowing the specific geographic characteristics or distances between these locations, it is difficult to determine whether the peak will be lower in Lisala compared to Mbandaka. Therefore, this statement is partially reasonable.
4) In Ubundu, the water discharge will be higher than in Kinshasa.
This statement compares the water discharge of the flood in two different locations: Ubundu and Kinshasa. Given that Ubundu is located further upstream from Kinshasa, it is plausible that the water discharge will be higher in Ubundu. Therefore, this statement is reasonable.
Based on the evaluation, statements 2) and 4) are the more reasonable choices.
