Direction (11-15):
Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) in the proper
sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below
them.

(A) Yet, the impact of such a loss on the stability of the
ice shelf itself may not be benign.
(B)The dramatic but inevitable calving of a trillion-ton iceberg from the
Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica raises the question, did a warming atmosphere
have a significant impact on the process?
(C) Such fears are based on the unambiguous data on the thinning of the Larsen
Ice Shelf.
(D) Lastly, some researchers also said in 2003 that Antarctic Peninsula ice
shelves retreated each year since 1980 by about 300 sq.km.
(E) With reference to this question, scientists from Project MIDAS, a
U.K.-based Antarctic research project that has been looking at the ice shelf
for many years, have said the formation of icebergs is natural, and no link to
human-induced climate change was available in this case.
(F) Should it disintegrate, glaciers normally feeding into the floating shelf
may have nothing to restrain them, and could then contribute to sea level rise,
possibly at a slow rate.
