Complete the sentence about Jamuna River with the correct year: The Jamuna was a barrier in establishing a direct road link between the capital Dhaka and northern part of Bangladesh, better known as Rajshahi Division, until ______.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1996
The Jamuna is the broad lower Brahmaputra, often 3 to 5 km wide even in the dry season. Until 1996 it blocked a direct road link between Dhaka and the Rajshahi Division in the north, and the completion of the Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge in that year finally solved the problem.
