It's fresh water. The salt remains in the oceans as the water evaporates.

True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?

Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.

Why is the lake salty?

The short answer is it's the salt. But I think what you're really asking is how did it get so salty. As fresh water flows through the continents, it picks up salt from the minerals. Then that is dumped into the ocean basin when the water gets to the sea. The water evaporates and returns as rain water, but the minerals stay behind. So after a long time, you get an accumulation of salt in the ocean.
