Answer:
I would pick A. C is also possible.
Explanation:
It is much easier to start with what he does not mean.
E definitely is not what he means. He is not thinking of benefitting himself at all.
D is also not what he means. He does not intend to dwell on past mistakes: he is determined to learn what he did wrong and what he can do to improve.
C is possible. Let's just go on.
B there is no pretense in his fear. Those spirits have done their jobs well. Scrooge is scarred out of his wits that what they have shown him may actually come to pass. His worst nightmare is that he can do nothing about it.
A is possible. So now you have to choose between C and A.
It could be either A or C. I'd pick A myself because it is an action. It's a plan.
I usually tell people when it is this close that either could be right. Just because I say it is so, does not make it so. If you have strong feelings about C, pick it.
In the excerpt from Thunberg's speech, she moves from a general premise about CO2 usage to a specific prediction about emissions, as explained below.
<h3>What is Thunberg's reasoning?</h3>
This question concerns the ending of the speech given by Greta Thunberg at the United Nations. Thunberg mentions the following:
- We can still have a 67% chance to stay below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise.
- To accomplish that, back in 2018, we had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit.
- However, that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons.
- In conclusion, our CO2 budget will be over in just 8 and a half years.
We can see that Thunberg goes from a general premise to a specific prediction about emissions. The premise consists of everything she says about the amount of CO2 we are allowed to emit. The prediction is that we will use up that amount in just 8 years.
With the information above in mind, we can select option B as the correct answer concerning Thunberg's reasoning. She moves from a general premise about CO2 usage to a specific prediction about emissions.
The missing excerpt is the following:
"To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise – the best odds given by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] – the world had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on Jan. 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons.
"How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just 'business as usual' and some technical solutions? With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than 8 1/2 years."
