This question is based on the following passage. scientists generally agree that earth is getting warmer due to what's called the greenhouse effect. a greenhouse used for plants stays warm because sunlight and heat coming through the glass roof are mostly trapped. the heat doesn't radiate back into the atmosphere because it's partly trapped by the glass. something like that happens on earth. the atmosphere acts like a blanket that keeps the sun's heat from leaking away into space. 12. the main conclusion you can draw from this paragraph is that a. a greenhouse plants to grow faster. b. in a greenhouse, the sun's heat is trapped by the glass. c. the atmosphere keeps earth warm. d. because of the greenhouse effect, plants on earth should thrive.

B. in a greenhouse, the Sun's heat is trapped by the glass.

Explanation:

Through the text shown above we can see how a greenhouse works and relate this to the greenhouse effect that has caused serious climate changes on the planet.

We can see, from the text, that the heat of the sun, gets through the walls of the greenhouse, entering the greenhouse, however, they cannot completely cross the walls of the greenhouse to return to the atmosphere, being partially trapped in the greenhouse that remains inside hotter than the outside.

The text does not convey any statements about the greenhouse allowing plants to grow faster, about the atmosphere keeping the earth warm, let alone about the greenhouse effect allowing plants on Earth to thrive.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
