Question

Refer to the NASA article "Responding to Climate Change."

Part A
Which inference can be made from the text?
A) Animals play a part in climate change.
B) Climate change will have long-lasting effects on our environment.
C) Climate change presents some potential beneficial opportunities.
D) The destruction of habitat is inevitable.

Part B
Which evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?
A) "That will be determined by how our emissions continue and also exactly how our climate system responds to those emissions."
B) "The last time levels were that high was about three to five million years ago, during the Pliocene Epoch."
C) "So even if we stopped emitting all greenhouse gases today, global warming and climate change will continue to affect future generations."
D) "The goal is to reduce our vulnerability to the harmful effects of climate change (like sea-level encroachment, more intense extreme weather events or food insecurity)."

Answer 2

The inference from the text is that Climate change will have long-lasting effects on our environment (Option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

In Part A, the best-supported inference is that climate change will have long-lasting effects on the environment. This conclusion is drawn from various statements in the text that highlight the persistent impact of climate change on future generations, such as the mention of elevated greenhouse gas levels lasting three to five million years (Part B, Option B) and the acknowledgment that even if emissions stop today, climate change effects will continue (Part B, Option C).

Option B is the answer.
