Explanation:

To determine which sentences show the 2011 heat dome was different, look for unique characteristics. The sentences about the heat index including humidity (as it's a measure combining humidity and temperature) and the extremely high heat - index readings (129 in Newton, Iowa, 122 in Gwinner, North Dakota, and 121 in Taylorville, Illinois) are key. These details (the combination of humidity in the heat index calculation and the unprecedentedly high values) set the 2011 heat dome apart from others.

Answer:

• "Humidity is included in the heat index. That's a measure of humidity added to the temperature."
• "The number in the heat index is how hot it <em>feels</em> when the weather is hot and humid."
• "On one July day, the heat dome produced some eye - popping heat index readings."
• "It was 129 degrees in Newton, Iowa, 122 in Gwinner, North Dakota, and 121 in Taylorville, Illinois."
