Explanation:

Question 6

To determine the meaning of "form" in the given sentence, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "A sudden increase..." does not relate to the context of water's state, so it's incorrect.
• Option B: "A decrease in body temperature..." is irrelevant to the meaning of "form" in this context, so it's incorrect.
• Option C: The sentence is about the state (liquid, solid) of water, not color or shape change, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: "The way in which something exists or appears" fits the context as water exists as liquid or solid (ice) with different densities, explaining why ice floats. So "form" here refers to the state (way of existing) of water.

We need to find a word that introduces the examples (liquid, ice, steam) of water's three forms:

• Option A: "namely" is used to introduce specific examples or details, which fits here as it introduces the three forms of water.
• Option B: "but" is a conjunction for contrast, which is not needed here as we are not contrasting.
• Option C: "so" is a conjunction for cause - effect, which is not relevant here.
• Option D: "previously" refers to time before, which does not fit the context of introducing examples.

Answer:

D. the way in which something exists or appears
