Q: Answer-In each of the following questions, a short passage is given with one of the phrases/sentences in th...

The passage discusses the weakening of ocean currents due to climate change and stresses the need for urgent global action. Option A fits logically as a rhetorical question about taking action before the situation worsens, leading naturally to the final sentence calling for immediate emission cuts. Option B contradicts the passage because the weakening of ocean currents is presented as a serious environmental threat. Option C introduces an unrelated hypothetical past situation involving a treaty. Option D contradicts the passage because it states that ocean salinity has increased, whereas the passage states that freshwater is diluting saltwater.

A Would the global community act before these key oceanic patterns collapse completely?

B Such changes would have no significant impact on the stability of global ecosystems.

C Had the international community signed the treaty early, marine ecosystems would thrive.

D Despite rigorous efforts, ocean salinity levels have unexpectedly increased in recent years.

E None of the above
