Question

circle the correct answer. how does the focus of this account differ from the account on page 180? a instead of telling the cause of global warming, it explains an effect. b instead of describing one solution, it tells about many possibilities. c instead of talking about glacial ice, it describes polar bear habits. d instead of naming climate changes, it warns of future problems.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the other account focused on causes of global warming, this one explaining an effect (like impacts of global warming) would be a valid focus difference.
• Option B: The question is about focus difference in accounts related to global warming (implied by options like A, C, D). Describing solutions vs many possibilities is less likely if the main topic is global warming's cause/effect/impacts.
• Option C: Shifting from glacial ice to polar bear habits is a narrow shift, less likely as a main focus difference for a global warming - related account.
• Option D: Naming climate changes vs warning of future problems – “naming climate changes” is vague, and warning of future problems is similar to explaining effects, but A is more precise about cause vs effect.

Assuming the account on page 180 was about the cause of global warming, this account explaining an effect (like melting ice, impact on polar bears etc.) makes A the best choice.

Answer:

A. Instead of telling the cause of global warming, it explains an effect.
