I think you're tired and guessing now. The Netherlands doesn't have fjords.
sorry ill look in my text and get back to you tom. thanks sooooo much i really really appreciate.:)
You're doing great, henry! See you tomorrow.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option:
A) The Netherlands does use dikes to hold back the sea. This is a well-known method employed by the country to protect its lowland areas, as it is located below sea level.
B) Although the Netherlands also uses dikes to control and regulate rivers, it is not the primary measure taken to protect the lowland areas. Dikes along rivers mainly serve to prevent flooding caused by excessive rainwater or to manage water levels for agriculture and transportation purposes.
C) Planting grasses whose roots trap water in the soil is indeed one of the methods used by the Netherlands to protect its lowland areas. This is typically done in coastal regions and marshlands where grasses help retain water and prevent erosion.
D) Excavating fjords is not a measure practiced by the Netherlands. Fjords are mainly found in mountainous or glacial regions and are not a characteristic of the Dutch landscape.
Considering the above analysis, option C ("by planting grasses whose roots trap water in the soil") is partially correct and represents a technique employed by the Netherlands. However, to fully address the question, the Netherlands primarily protects its lowland areas with dikes to hold back the sea (option A), which is the most effective strategy used to prevent flooding in a country mostly situated below sea level.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) with dikes to hold back the sea.
