Question
The author regards the traditional view of the origin of the oceans with:
Answer: Option D
:
D
In the first paragraph, the author has appreciated the traditional view by saying that it may be correct since it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. However, in the second paragraph, he says that the traditional view seems implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offsets or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Thus we can effectively say that the author regards the traditional view of the origin of the oceans with guarded skepticism, and not complete disbelief, indifference, or anger. Also the author does not regard with ‘slight’ apprehension when he says in the second paragraph that the traditional view is ‘implausible’. Thus answer option (d) is the correct answer choice.
