Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below

The Maldives is famous as a tourist destination because of its pleasant weather, heavenly beaches and lagoons, luxurious holiday resorts and the peace-loving people. The Maldives was ranked as the best country for beautiful beaches and facilities for recreation in 2008.

The Maldives is well known for being the lowest country in the world. Unfortunately, this small country with idyllic natural beauty is under threat from rising sea levels due to global warming. Most of the country is just 1.5 metres above sea level with the highest point of 2.3 metres! Many predictions have been made with respect to Maldives being swept away by the rising water level in the Indian Ocean. When the power tsunami of 2004 hit the island nation, many of the island's dry parts were flooded by the sea water. The government of the Maldives has begun to purchase land from nearby countries for resettling its people in case the islands go under water!

In order to highlight the threats of global warming to its low lying islands, the government of Maldives held a cabinet meeting underwater in 2009. That was the first ever underwater cabinet meeting in the world. The meeting took place about 5 meter underwater, in a blue-green lagoon on a small island. While underwater, the cabinet signed a document calling on all nations to cut their carbon emissions.

The Maldives is a remarkable tourist spot for having enjoyable weather, heavenly beaches and lagoons, luxurious holiday resorts and the peace loving people.

2008 is a significant year for the Maldives because in that year the Maldives has been ranked as the best country brand for beach, rest and relaxation and also as the second best country brand for natural beauty.

Like the Maldives, Bangladesh is a small seaside lower country filled with natural beauty. If the sea levels rise due to global warming, like many other lower countries of the world including the Maldives, Bangladesh will go under water specially its southern parts along the Bay of Bengal. Rising of the sea levels is a great threat to both of these countries.

That the islands with idyllic natural beauty are under threat from rising sea levels due to global warming is ominous about the Maldives.
