Question

According to the information in this article, which sentence describes how life was discovered beneath Antarctica? A Scientists found proof of water beneath Antarctic ice, then they drilled to get samples of the water to look for life. B Scientists saw signs of ice that may cover water on other planets, so they drilled for water beneath Antarctic ice. C Scientists knew that there were life forms in the deep parts of the ocean, so they concluded that there was life in the water beneath Antarctic ice. D Scientists found microbes on the surface of Antarctic ice, then they drilled into the ice to look for microbes beneath the surface.

Answer 2

I've found this question online. It refers to the text "Antarctica's Hidden Wetland: From Ice to E.T.", by Mary Reina.

Answer:

According to the information in the article, the sentence that describes how life was discovered beneath Antarctica is:

A. Scientists found proof of water beneath Antarctic ice, then they drilled to get samples of the water to look for life.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Reina's article, it took scientists quite a long time to figure out there was liquid water underneath the frozen surface of Antarctica. It was only in the 1970s that radar technology suggested the existence of water there, and only in 1996 that scientists confirmed it was a huge lake. Of course, the existence of water is a known premise for the existence of life, which led scientists to wonder whether or not there was life in that lake. So they decided to drill the extremely thick ice cover above the lake to collect samples, and were able to indeed confirm the existence of microbial life.
