Melancholy is best matched by a gloomy , depressed state of mind. Depression or dejection appear as definitions in the dictionary.

The population is growing in cities such as San Antonio, Phoenix, and Los Angeles and this event has serious effects on the desert environment of these cities mentioned earlier, being the most obvious one the water shortages. The reader can infer all this information thanks to the organization of the text and the words or connectors used.
