החלק הבא כולל קטע קריאה, ואחריו שאלות הקשורות אליו. בכל שאלה, בחרו את התשובה מתאימה ביותר בהתבסס על קטע הקריאה.

This part consists of a reading passage, followed by several related question. For each question, choose the most appropriate answer based on the text.

Since the 1880’s, the global mean sea level has risen by about 21-24 centimeters, when about a third of that (7-8 centimeters) coming in just the last two and a half decades, with the yearly rate more than doubling between the late 20th century (1.4 millimeters per year) and 2015 (3.6 millimeters per year). The immediate cause of the rise is the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. The causes of these melts, in turn, is Global Warming. 

With the average temperature of the Earth increasing, the process of melting among glaciers and ice sheets is quickened, and larger quantities of water are released yearly to the oceans, which leads to their rising levels. Furthermore, one of the characteristics of water is expanding when getting warmer, and due to that the ocean levels rise further when water temperature rises. Thus, Global Warming doubles the speed of rising sea levels- first by melting ice which increases the quantity of water in the ocean, and secondly, by making the warmer water expand, increasing the space the oceans occupy. 

With a large portion of the world’s population living on the coastline: 8 out of 10 of the world’s largest cities, 30% of the United States population, island nations and lowland states such as Holland, the rising sea levels threaten the lives, infrastructure, and jobs of millions of people and even the existence of entire states.
