A The movement of glaciers B Icebergs as a source of fresh water C Future water shortages D The future of the world's rivers Question 44: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A anhydrous B fruitful C remote D distant Question 45: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to A an iceberg that is towed B obtaining fresh water from icebergs C the population of arid areas D real life Question 46: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in A oceans B rivers C glaciers D reservoirs Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A pulls B waves C weather D flows of water Question 48: How are icebergs formed? A They break off from glaciers B Seawater freezes C Rivers freeze D Small pieces of floating ice converge Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree? A Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible B Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water C Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages D Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit? "To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult." A (A) B (B) C (C) D (D) Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to _ A the volume B the water C the iceberg D the towing Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of obtaining fresh water from the iceberg? A The prevention of rapid melting iceberg B The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount C The purifying the fresh water and carrying it to shore D The prevention of rapid melting and the funneling to shore in great volume Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best option for each of the blanks I was raised on a
