Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following question.
Pollutants are clogging up the
atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes our planet warmer,
which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters
spread like wildfires.
But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate
change. One surprising fact about global warming is that it makes people more
aggressive.
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes
and even war become more likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in
warm weather, so people are prepped for a physical response to a situation. That’s not to
say we're headed for a violent end as Earth warms up, though. Advances in everything
from technology to health have sparked a decline in conflict. It's just that global warming
might be slowing that decline. Climate change increases the amount of smog in the air
and causes plants to produce more pollen, according to the Natural Resources Defense
Council. Those combine to make breathing harder for people, which can be especially
tricky for people with asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
Question 26: What is trapping the sun’s heat?
A. The atmosphere B. Pollutants
C. Glaciers D. The atmosphere above our planet
Question 27: According to the paragraph 1, all of the following are results of our planet
