Question

Although almost all climate
scientists agree that the Earth is gradually warming, they have long been of
two minds about the process of rapid climate shifts within larger periods of
change. Some have speculated that the process works like a giant oven
freezer, warming or cooling the whole planet at the same time. Others think
that shifts occur on opposing schedules in the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres, like exaggerated seasons. Recent research in Germany examining
climate patterns in the Southern Hemisphere at the end of the last Ice Age
strengthens the idea that warming and cooling occurs at alternate times in
the two hemispheres. A more definitive answer to this debate will allow
scientists to better predict when and how quickly the next climate shift will happen

Options:

A . Scientists have been unsure whether rapid shifts in the Earth's climate happen all at once or on opposing schedules in different hemispheres; research will help find a definitive answer and better predict climate shifts in future

B . Scientists have been unsure whether rapid shifts in the Earth's climate happen all at once or on opposing schedules in different hemispheres; finding a definitive answer will help them better predict climate shifts in future

C . Research in Germany will help scientists find a definitive answer about warming and cooling of the Earth and predict climate shifts in the future in a better manner

D . More research rather than debates on warming or cooling of the Earth and exaggerated seasons in its hemispheres will help scientists in Germany predict climate changes better in future

E . JIFI

Answer: Option B
:
B
Solution:
Correct Answer Option: (b)
Option (b) is the answer because it talks about
scientists being unsure about rapid shifts in earth's climate and how finding
a definitive answer would help them to predict the future climatic changes.
Option (a) cannot be the answer as it talks about research in general and the
paragraph gives more emphasis on finding a "definitive answer" in terms of
climatic change. Option (c) is not considered because it gives emphasis only
on research done in Germany. Option (d) is ruled out because it specifically
gives more importance to scientists of Germany.
