Hi Sihyun and welcome to the board.

Before to delve into the question, I would like you to follow the rules (very simple) for posting on the board and the way to post a question. It should look like how you see it now. Thank you

https://greprepclub.com/forum/qv-how-to ... -2362.html

The scientists pointed out the what we now call global warming is indeed a longgg process over the centuries and this process hardly is a transformation described as "warming". Actually, this long process is something more complicated and much more on a large scale, that "warming" is a euphemism.

Hope now is clear.

Regards

Answer: B, F, G

Could you explain why the answer is G for (iii)?


Two things give away that the last word is transformation. First "setting in motion" and then "shifts in climate pattern". These two statements heavily imply global warming will lead to an extreme transformation of life on Earth due to glabal warming.

I think this is one of those questions where you answer the last blank first.
