Answer 1

The statement "People used the rivers for recreational purposes like swimming and diving" is not a primary reason cities develop first along waterways. While recreational uses are certainly a benefit of rivers, the primary reasons for early city development along bodies of water typically include freshwater availability for drinking and bathing, transportation routes, and food sources through fishing.
