This part consists of several sentences, each followed by four possible ways of restating the
main idea of that sentence in different words. For each question, choose the one restatement
which best expresses the meaning of the original sentence.

9. The temperature rises as one descends into the Grand Canyon.

(1) It can get very hot in the Grand Canyon.

11. Bjarne Andresen, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, claims that the term

"global temperature", often referred to in discussions on global warming, is
thermodynamically and mathematically untenable.

(1) Andresen claims that measuring "global temperature" using thermodynamic and
mathematical principles is the least accurate method of estimating the rate of global
warming.

(2) An expert in thermodynamics and mathematics, Andresen supports the widely held
assumption that a direct correlation exists between global warming and what is
referred to as "global temperature".

(3) Andresen has argued that the notion of a "global temperature", often mentioned in
reference to global warming, is unsound in both mathematical and thermodynamic
terms.

(4) In his research on global warming, Andresen questions the widely accepted claim
that "global temperature" can be predicted using thermodynamic and mathematical
tools.

12. The old quarter of Dinan, France, is a labyrinth of streets where time appears to have

(2) The passage of time has not dulled the charm of the streets in Dinan's old quarter.
