I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into ans out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling. During this period, I had to go up in to command module. Even after the fiery re-entry splashing down in 81o water in south pacific, we could still see our frosty breath inside the command module.

According to me, here "Unfiltered by layers of air" specifies about harmful rays.

The answer should be like "dazzling sunshine with harmful rays".

So, go with option D.

It is option D as the phrase "Unfiltered by layers of air" means the rays from the sun are clearer than in earth's atmosphere and not option A which says the sun is hot.

I think that "A" is a more suitable answer compared to "D" as its more vague whereas A suits the description. Any which way I know I am wrong so this is just an opinion.

The dazzling sunshine was for "once unfiltered by layers of air means" That the sun was very hot. That there was no strong wind. So, I guess A is the answer.

I interpreted the answer as A, it would be hotter, even if they are protected and can't feel it. I don't agree with D and believe A makes more sense.

I think option A was correct as the "unfiltered by layers of air" meant that the rays were to hot as they were direct and not shielded by any thing.

Jane said:   9 years ago
I think option b is right. Because unfiltered by layers of air which mean that the sun has not experienced air which means there is no strong wind.

Vinay said:   7 years ago
I think unfiltered by layers of air means there is no obstacle between them so no option is right.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
