Explanation
Evaluating the Courses of Action:"Major facilities of water and food should be provided straight away in that area." (Follows)Since the problem is famine (lack of food and water), the most immediate and necessary action is to supply food and water to the affected people.This is an urgent relief measure that directly addresses the problem."Financial support should be given to the bothered individuals from the Government." (Does Not Follow)Financial support might help in the long run, but it does not directly and immediately solve the famine crisis.Even if people receive money, there might not be food available to purchase due to scarcity.Providing food and water directly is a more effective and urgent solution than just giving money.
