READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES CAREFULLY AND CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER A, B, C, OR D TO EACH QUESTION.Global warming is a matter of great concern that is unfortunately quite often overlooked in light of other problems that seem to be more immediately demanding. There are many problems that are causing global warming, and if they are not solved or at least prevented from now on, there are going to be some severe ramifications in the near future. Greenhouse gases, holes in the ozone layer, and the decay of the atmosphere are just a few of the problems that need to be at the very least understood by the people.Greenhouse gases are chemical compounds that are found in the atmosphere. Because of their chemical makeup, they allow energy from the sun to enter the atmosphere freely. Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Another great concern to everyone on earth should be the hole in the ozone layer that is above Antarctica. Last recorded in September of 2000, the hole was 28.3 million square kilometers. Such a hole in the ozone layer allows rays from the sun to enter our atmosphere with their harmful intensity. Since this hole is present in one of the coldest parts of the world, where there is so much ice, the potential for melting is extremely dangerous. It is predicted that before the turn of the century, the core temperature will rise another 3 to 9 degrees. Such a great change would cause water levels to rise; as a result, coastal cities would start to flood, and people who lived on the edge of the beaches and coasts would have to move or lose everything they possessed to floods. This drastic change in temperature also affects the weather patterns. Heat waves will last longer and be more severe. Drought and dried-out crops will ultimately cause problems for our economy.What is the main idea of the passage? Global warming is the source of major problems The melting of ice in Antarctica has become risky. The rise of temperature has created drought and floods. Greenhouse gases are dangerous to the environment. 47.
