Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided between an opening statement 1 and a closing statement 6. The statements are jumbled up and form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these six taken together.
1. Ice forms in lakes and rivers whenever the surface water super cools to 0°C (32° F) or a fraction of a degree lower.
A. This ice cover continues to thicken downward as a result of transfer of heat from ice to air.
B. The first appearance of ice in a lake usually takes the form of spicule or platelike crystals.
C. Continuous ice covers may also form on rivers that have flow velocities less than about 0.5 m/sec (1.6ft/sec).
D. These grow into a network of dendrites that ultimately freeze together to form a continuous ice cover called skim ice.
6. Ice formations in more turbulent supper cooled water tend to be dominated by a copious crystallization of small particles of ice called frazil.
