Read the passage below carefully:

The Kainji Dam, constructed across the River Niger in Niger State, Nigeria, was commissioned in December 1968 after four years of construction work. Built primarily for hydroelectric power generation, the dam created Kainji Lake, a vast reservoir that submerged several rural settlements and displaced over 44,000 residents. To accommodate the displaced population, the federal government constructed 127 new resettlement villages equipped with basic infrastructure. Beyond power generation, the dam was designed to improve navigation along the River Niger down to the port of Burutu and to control seasonal downstream flooding. However, initial plans to develop a large-scale commercial fishing industry within the reservoir were hindered by unexpected ecological shifts in fish species composition.

Which idiomatic expression correctly completes the context of the sentence below?

Read the passage below carefully and evaluate the statement that follows:

For generations, smallholder yam farmers along the floodplains of Ogbaru in Anambra State faced severe post-harvest losses caused by seasonal river flooding during the annual harvest peak. Traditional wooden storage barns erected on dry land frequently collapsed or became submerged as the Niger River overflowed. In response, local agricultural cooperatives recently introduced elevated bamboo-reinforced silo platforms constructed above the historic high-water mark. Unlike conventional mud-walled structures, these elevated platforms permit continuous horizontal airflow, which significantly reduces humidity and delays tubers from rotting. Furthermore, farmers began applying a fine coating of neem leaf ash to the stored yams prior to mounting them on the platforms. Although the ash coating does not prevent physical moisture loss, it effectively repels subterranean termites and burrowing beetles that previously breached wooden barn walls. Consequently, participating cooperatives have recorded a forty percent decrease in seasonal tuber spoilage, enabling them to withhold yams from the market until supply drops and prices stabilize during the dry season.

Statement: The application of neem leaf ash to stored yams is intended primarily to prevent moisture loss from the tubers.

Read the passage below carefully:

For decades, the ecological degradation of mangrove forests across the Niger Delta severely threatened coastal fish populations and local livelihoods. Recent community-driven restoration projects have demonstrated that re-establishing native red mangrove species directly restores benthic marine nurseries. By stabilizing shoreline sediment, these restored mangrove belts also mitigate coastal erosion caused by rising sea levels. Furthermore, carbon sequestration rates in mature mangrove stands have been measured at four times the rate of terrestrial tropical forests, highlighting their broader role in regional climate regulation.
