Answer 2

## Step1For question 36, we need to understand why snowflakes have infinite variety. The passage suggests that the variety in snowflakes is due to the different atmospheric conditions they encounter as they fall. This is represented by option G.## Step2Question 37 asks us to identify how snowflakes differ from snow crystals. The passage indicates that snowflakes are composed of more than one crystal, which is represented by option D.## Step3Question 38 asks us to understand what the term "designer" snowflakes refers to. The passage suggests that Libbrecht's snowflakes exhibit special beauty, which is represented by option J.## Step4Question 39 asks us to understand the meaning of the word "critical" as used in the passage. The context suggests that it is used to mean "vital", which is represented by option C.## Step5Question 40 asks us to identify what the research about snow crystals has not helped scientists do. The passage suggests that the research has helped in extracting pollutants from snow, gauging snowmelt, and designing artificial snow, but not in predicting avalanches, which is represented by option J.
