Question

select the correct text in the passage. which statement in the passage reflects the condition of a region in summer? the different hemispheres receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. when the suns rays are concentrated over a smaller surface area, the intensity of radiation is higher. the days are also longer, which means that more radiation is absorbed during a 24 - hour cycle. when the suns rays are spread over a greater surface area, they must travel through more of the atmosphere before reaching earth. the intensity of radiation is also much weaker.

Explanation:

In summer, a region experiences higher - intensity radiation (due to more concentrated Sun's rays) and longer days (more radiation absorption). The text "When the Sun's rays are concentrated over a smaller surface area, the intensity of radiation is higher. The days are also longer, which means that more radiation is absorbed during a 24 - hour cycle" describes these summer - like conditions.

Answer:

When the Sun's rays are concentrated over a smaller surface area, the intensity of radiation is higher. The days are also longer, which means that more radiation is absorbed during a 24 - hour cycle.
