Most of the carbon emitted by human activity is absorbed by the ocean, yet modeling this process has been difficult to refine. A team of researchers, led by Dr Laura Cimoli, have been studying how deep sea underwater waves, created on boundaries between water of differing temperatures and salinity, can affect carbon absorption. Combining multiple types of oceanic observations, the team concluded that turbulence between deep sea waves can dramatically affect how much carbon gets absorbed by the ocean. 

What choice best states the main idea of the text?

A) Researchers have obtained evidence that provides the best way to reduce carbon emissions.

B) Researchers have identified an underlying factor that impacts carbon absorption.

C) Deep sea underwater waves are created by differences in water temperature and salinity.

D) Deep sea underwater waves are easily understood by direct observations.

B) Researchers have identified an underlying factor that impacts carbon absorption.

An agrivoltaic system occurs when agriculture and solar panels coexist on the same parcel of land. Henry Williams and Max Zhang have studied how the placement of solar panels can affect both the efficiency of the panel and the surrounding crops, By using a computational fluid dynamics-based microclimate model and solar panel temperature data, Williams and Zhang claim to have found a "sweet spot" for the mounting height of the panels that will allow cooling for both the panel and the ground below, and therefore allow more types of crops to grow in dry, arid environments.

Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

A) To introduce the invention of agrivoltaic systems

B) To determine the proper mounting height for solar panels

C) To call attention to a promising discovery

D) To indicate a necessary change in the growing of crops
