Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Explanation:

The evidence from the passage that best supports the statement is that Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Ice is a white body and it has a very high albedo of above 90%. It reflects a lot of radiation incident on its surface.

The Arctic ice helps to cool the surface temperature.
Instead of absorbing the short wavelength radiation from the sun, it reflects them back.
When a body absorbs radiation, it emits long wave radiation that warms the earth surface
In the Arctic ice, the reflectivity is high and the short wave radiation are turned back.

<u>Answer:</u>

A solid hollow cylinder has an "infinite number of planes of symmetry".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Two or more faces are said to be symmetric when they have the same dimensions and are geometrically identical.

When these faces are placed in a setting with 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' axes "perpendicular to each other", they make a plane with three lines of symmetry. A circle has "infinite lines of symmetry".

Thus, a cylinder with two openings has an "infinite number" of "planes of symmetry".
