Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A A high tide helps ships in navigation.

D Many fish come close to the shore during the high tide.


High tides help in navigation. They raise the water level close to the shores. This helps the ships to arrive at the harbour more easily. The high tides also help in fishing. Many fish come closer to the shore during the high tide. This enables fishermen to get a plentiful catch. The rise and fall of water due to tides is being used to generate electricity in some places.
