✓
Answer

(ii) Due to the gravitational force, the water on the Earth towards the direction of the Moon experiences pull, hence there occurs high tide.
(iii) At the same time, the place which is at right angles or at $90^{\circ}$, the water level gets reduced and
experience low tide.
(iv) This situation occurs two times a day on regular basis, water level rises two times a day and reduces two times a day.
(v)
