The question asks us to evaluate statements about stores in the catchment water cycle diagram.
Option 1: 'In general Soil Moisture is a smaller store of water than Groundwater.' In hydrology, groundwater represents water stored in pore spaces and aquifers below the surface, often forming a large, relatively long‑term reservoir. Soil moisture, by contrast, resides in the soil pore spaces near the surface and is typically smaller in volume and more dynamic. Therefore, soil moisture is generally smaller than groundwater, making this statement true.
Option 2: 'In general Interception is a smaller store of water than Soil Moisture.' Interception refers to the layer of precipitation captured by plant leaves and other surfaces before it reaches the ground, a short‑term, surface store. Soil moisture resides within the soil profile and usually holds substantially more water over time than interception does. Hence interception storage is typically smaller than soil moisture, so this statement is also true.
In summary, both given statements describe plausible relationships among the major water stores shown in catchment hydrology: groundwater vs soil moisture, and interception vs soil moisture. The reasoning hinges on comparing reservoir sizes and typical residence times for these stores in a catchment context.
