Ice is melting every summer. And if this trend continues there will be no ice within 50 years (because of the melting of ice in that Arctic region). As melting ice doesn’t affect the water level, it has almost no effect on SEA LEVEL. (then the author drew a conclusion; basically he made an extreme case hypothetically) However, serious consequences to sea levels would eventually result, because________.
Predict the answer, if the melting process would be continuing, say for 200 years, it would trigger melting of massive something, maybe the entire Arctic glacier
Now do the POE(Process of Elimination):
A → ice would form (what? Ice is melting?) NO
B → temperature (the passage is not about changing temperature) NO
C-> it says am massive melting phenomenon would trigger (looks good)
D-> ecosystem (the passage is not about ecosystem) NO
E-> in the spring (what?) icebergs to be created (what?) NO
So, the correct answer should be C.
