Comprehension Passage
Read the given paragraph and answer the given questions.
The Indus River, a lifeline threading through the fabric of ancient and modern civilizations, originates near the sacred Mansarovar Lake on the Tibetan plateau, gracefully descending from the northern slopes of Mount Kailash, the tallest peak of the Kailash Range. Mount Kailash is believed to be the 'pillar of the world'.This formidable river, extending over 3180 kilometers and eventually merging with the Arabian Sea, orchestrates a diverse and dynamic ecosystem along its course. Enriched by pivotal tributaries such as the Beas, Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej, it convenes in Pakistan at Maithankot, a locale fondly dubbed Panchnad, where these waters unite. Together with additional contributions from Afghanistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Indus crafts Pakistan's Sapta Sindhu or the Seven Rivers delta, a cradle of life and prosperity. This convergence not only sustains vast agricultural lands but also forms the backbone of economic activities in the region. The Indus River, in its majesty, encapsulates a blend of cultural significance, ecological diversity, and economic vitality, narrating tales of civilizations that have thrived on its banks through millennia.
