Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

How do paragraph one and paragraph two work together to present the author's ideas?
Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation. Paragraph two shows the results.
Paragraph one offers a solution. Paragraph two explains a problem the solution creates.
Paragraph one presents facts. Paragraph two presents additional facts on the same topic.
Paragraph one and paragraph two do not have a clear connection to each other

Answer 5

Anyway, from reading the paragraphs, we see that Paragraph 1 points out an issue that people have discovered (the skies becoming dark on that day).
In Paragraph 2, we see scientists working to figure out why. Eventually, they find the answer: black smoke from wildfires.

So #1 is about the problem or issue, and #2 is about the investigation and results.

Based on this, which one seems most likely?

Answer 6

btw. there is a connection, so D is wrong.
B says there is a problem created by a solution in the second paragraph, but we already proved that to be false.

(So it is A or C)
