Answers:

a. Meherjan lives in a slum on the Sirajgonj Town Protection Embankment.

b. The people living along the river banks, mostly the poor, are the worst sufferers of climate change.

c. The erosion of the river Jamuna crushed Meherjan's dream and happiness. It gradually consumed all her land and finally took her only shelter, and then she lost her husband and family to diseases caused by hunger and poverty.

d. Meherjan lost her house, trees, vegetable garden, bamboo bush and all her arable land due to river erosion.

e. If we cannot control river erosion, thousands of more people like Meherjan will become homeless and destitute in our towns and villages every year.

f. Yes, I agree with the view that we should take prompt actions to adapt to climate change. Climate change has already caused river erosion, floods and cyclones in Bangladesh, and it makes many people homeless every year. If we adapt quickly, by building embankments, planting trees and raising awareness, we can protect lives and property. If we delay, the loss will increase.
