Directions to Solve
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.

D is the correct answer, because it already mentions that the sunshine unfiltered and there is no air in the space.

K.NANDA KUMAR said:   9 years ago

Please any one help me because I'm not able to understand any comprehension so I'm not answering questions what shall I do?

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.

Devina said:   1 decade ago
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.

Anil said:   1 decade ago
I think D is correct because "unfiltered by layers of air" means that it is earth is covered by atmosphere which again a mixture of layers so I guess its finally "D".

Correct me if I'm wrong!

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.

Catastrophe was imminent so we all know the phrase that "Water of sea remains silent before a coming storm". We can relate this phrase to the question. Means a storm or any kind of destruction is about to come.
