Question 7bf0ea16

Expression of Ideas - Rhetorical Synthesis

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • The melting rate of glaciers varies based on air temperature.
  • In the warm summer months, massive glaciers on the coast of Greenland melt into the surrounding water.
  • The melting glaciers contribute to rising sea levels each summer.
  • Huge icebergs also break off Greenland’s glaciers into the water and melt.
  • In 2017, geoscientist Twila Moon found that the iceberg melting rate depends not on air temperature but on water temperature.
  • Because water temperature is consistent, melting icebergs contribute to rising sea levels all year.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between glaciers and icebergs in Greenland. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
