11. Rain is advantageous because it brings water for all living things. But rain can be disastrous,
too, because too much rain will cause floods which can wash away people, houses and other
valuable properties.

The following is how rain is formed. The air is filled with tiny particles known as vapor. Vapor is
actually the gaseous form of water.

Vapor is a part of air. The air around us is constantly moving because the air near the
surface of the earth is hotter and lighter. This is why this air rises. The air higher up in the sky is
cold and heavy, so it sinks. The rising of hot air and the sinking of cold water cause the air to
move. When the hot air rises to a certain level, the vapor presents in it, cools and changes to
water. This is known as condensation. When the water particles are too heavy for the air to
carry, the air is said to be oversaturated. The water particles then fall as rain.

Rain is advantageous because.. (Par. 1) The synonym of word advantageous is …

a. profit
b. useless
c. beneficial
d. courageous
e. disadvantageous
