Answer:

Check Explanation(Last paragraph).

Explanation:

For the record, Civil Engineers that are workers of government are known as city Engineers. The Government are usually governments presiding over cities. These city Governments will give the civil engineers work to execute for instance building bridges, road and many more.

One of their other roles that is city Engineers is that of what is given in the question that is they build plans to avoid environmental hazards("contingency planning for another major flood'').

So, to answer the question, my response to the council will be;

'' please, let us prepare better for future disasters. Let us learn from this flood disaster. There can be another disaster that will be worse than this so we need to prepare, anything can happen be it tsunami or tectonic shift''.

igor_vitrenko [27]

The four of them had difficult childhoods:

Ringo Starr was an only child, parents divorced. At 6 , he had an appendectomy and then contracted peritonitis, forcing him to live at a local children's hospital for 12 months while he recovered. This put him considerably behind in school, but just as he caught up (with the help of a tutor), he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and spent the next two years in a sanatorium.  There, he formed a band and young Ringo discovered percussion

Paul McCartney when he  was only 14 years old, his mother died of complications after a mastectomy. He had that in common with Lennon.

George Harrison like his future bandmates,  was not born into wealth. He and Lennon actually shared the same school but they never crossed paths there as George was younger.

John Lennon also had a difficult childhood. When he was four years old, his parents separated and he ended up living with his Aunt Mimi. Lennon's mother, Julia, remarried, but visited him and Mimi regularly. He was devastated when Julia was fatally struck by a car. Her death was one of the most traumatic events in his life.

From early age, the four of them showed an interest in music. I thing their childhood marked them and music was their refuge.

ycow [4]

The answer is  B. Literacy rates are increasing in the region, and the gap between men and women is decreasing. Annual regional-level literacy estimates based on national data and the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics projections from 1990 to 2016  tell us that Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, and Northern Africa and Western Asia have made the greatest progress in improving adult literacy over the past 26 years .

According to the Fact Sheet No. 45 dated  September 2017 of the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics, Northern Africa and Western Asia literacy rate went from 64% to 81. The youth literacy rate increased in Northern Africa and Western Asia from 80% to 90% and sub-Saharan Africa  from 65% to 75%. Female literacy rates-lower than male literacy rates at the start of the period - generally grew faster than male literacy rates between 1990 and 2016.Thus, the gap between men and women has decreased  in all regions over the past 26 years.

Komok [63]
No, this is false.

Tragedy and Commedy first developed during the Ancient Greek time - we know this because quite a lot of ancient Greek works survived until today.
