Jenkins: Research on the properties of snow at the North Pole should be conducted in January and February. The weather is then cold enough to ensure that the snow will not melt. It is important that research money not be wasted; if we wait until a later month, we risk sending researchers when they will be unable to carry out research successfully.

Lurano: I disagree. The weather will likely still be quite cold in April and May, and by going later, researchers run less risk of suffering dangerous exposure to the cold.

Question
13

The dialogue lends the most support to the claim that Jenkins and Lurano disagree on whether

there is a possibility of snow melting at the North Pole during April and May

it is impossible to investigate the properties of snow at the North Pole later than February

funding will be wasted if research on snow is carried out at the North Pole later than February

the temperatures at the North Pole in January and February are lower than are the temperatures in April and May

research funding considerations outweigh the risk to researchers posed by the temperatures at the North Pole in January and February
