CAMBRIDGE IELTS 11 – TEST 1 – PASSAGE 3
27-29. Which paragraph contains the following information?
1. mention of a geo-engineering project based on an earlier natural phenomenon.
=> Answer: D
We have to find out the information about a nature-based project. Obviously, at the beginning of paragraph D, the author describes a project which results in global dimming. Then, he explains “The idea is modelled on historic volcanic explosions, such as that of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in o 1992, which led to a short- term cooling of global temperatures by 0.5 C. So, the “earlier natural
phenomenon” is “historic volcanic explosions”.
based on=modelled on
earlier=historic
1. an example of a successful use of geo-engineering.
