3.
Ans:  Based on the typical content of a passage about cyclones and the available options for paragraph headings, here are the likely matches:

• Paragraph 1: Likely discusses the definition or explanation of what cyclones are, so the heading could be: (a) "What is a cyclone?"
• Paragraph 2: Might describe the formation or mechanism of cyclones, so the heading could be: (b) "How do cyclones occur?"
• Paragraph 5: Could be about the naming conventions of cyclones, so the heading might be: (c) "How are cyclones named?"
• Paragraph 7: This paragraph possibly talks about the severity of cyclones, so a fitting heading could be: (d) "Intensity of cyclones"

4.
Ans:  Yes, accurate cyclone forecasts are important because:

1. Safety and Preparedness: Accurate forecasts allow for timely evacuations and preparations that can save lives and reduce injuries. Knowing the path and strength of a cyclone helps authorities and the public to prepare, secure property, and move to safer locations if necessary.
2. Mitigation of Damage: With accurate forecasts, governments and disaster management teams can pre-plan their responses, secure infrastructure, and allocate resources effectively to mitigate the impact of the cyclone. This can significantly reduce the economic and structural damages that cyclones often cause.
