Answer 1

C Iqaluq's observation belies a wider phenomenon. In summer 2020, due to intense summer heat, sea ice in the Arctic melted to its second-lowest extent on record.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logic refers to the use of evidence to support one's argument. Statistics, facts, and data are used to back up the writer's argument. In the third option, the writer uses facts and figures to support his argument. He cited data on the Arctic melting in the summer of 2020.

The importance of logical reasoning is that the reader can reach a conclusion through the premises cited by the author. It is even more beneficial if the premises are data that can be verified.
