is no longer used by most people
does not reflect the water's beneficial effects
comes from the pollution found in the atmosphere
O refers to the lack of minerals in the water

Answer 1

B. does not reflect the water's beneficial effects.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author suggests that the name "Dead Sea" does not reflect the water's beneficial effects.

This is true because looking at the beneficial effects of the water as stated in the excerpt, one will discover that the water itself has restorative and rejuvenating effects. It has beneficial effects as it was known to be the world's first health resorts. But the name "Dead Sea" actually suggests that the sea does not have those beneficial effects as it is in reality.

The Dead Sea is known to be a salt lake. It is the known world's saltiest body of water. The sea is bordered by Jordan to the east. The Jordan Rift Valley is the location where the sea lies.
