A the destruction of wetlands B the flooding of cities C a more diverse marine population D Severe storms 37 According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth's climate? A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the Earth's crust C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate 38 The word "beneficial" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A clam B inviting C thoughtful D favorable 39 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture A preceded the development of animal husbandry B withstood vast changes in the Earth's climate C did not take place during an ice age D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect 40 The word "this" in the third paragraph refers to A man's upsetting the equation B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide C a volcanic eruption D the melting of the polar ice caps 41 The word "inhospitable" is closest in meaning to A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel 42 What is the main topic of the passage?
