Question

Which of these clues might help a reader visualize a sequence of events?

“Waterspouts, which are essentially tornadoes over water, form when cold air moves over warm water. They churn at speeds up to 200 miles an hour, but dissipate when rain begins to fall from their host cloud. Depending on how fast the winds are whipping, anything that is within about one yard of the surface of the water, including sailboats or fish of different sizes, can be lifted into the air, says Nilton Renno, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Michigan.”

Answer 2

The option that helps a reader visualize a sequence of events in this passage is:

b. “...form when cold air moves over warm water.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasons for this answer are two-. The first one is that this sentence uses "when" a temporary connector that allows us to understand the origin of the event on the matter. Also, the "a" option is a complementary sentence that keeps following the order established by the "b" option, but not starts another order of sequence. It is the same one.
