Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In this missing words item, we must choose the words that best fit the sequence described for the water cycle.
Option set context: Blank 1 should describe what happens to water as it rises into the atmosphere, and Blank 2 should describe what happens after it cools in the atmosphere.
For Blank 1:
- The natural progression of the water cycle begins with water from oceans, lakes, and rivers being transformed into water vapor and rising into the air. This process is known as evaporation. Therefore, the correct fit for Blank 1 is evaporates.
- If we considered the other common term condenses, that describes the opposite process (the transformation of water vapor back into liquid water). Using condenses in Blank 1 would inaccurately imply water fogging up into vapor, which breaks the logical flow of the cycle described.
For Blank 2:
- After water vapor rises and cools, it tends to change back into liquid water, forming clouds through condensation, before precipitating as rain, snow, etc. Hence, the appropriate word for Blank 2 is condenses.
- If we instead used evaporates for Blank 2, it would imply that the water vapor turns into gas again instead of turning into liquid, which would bypass cloud formation and precipitation in the described cycle.
Summary: The sequence described is evaporation at the outset (water leaving liquid form to rise as vapor), followed by condensation as it cools in the atmosphere, leading to precipitation. The provided answers align with this correct sequence: Blank 1 = evaporates, Blank 2 = condenses.
Note on the absence of answer options: Since no explicit option list was supplied in this item, the justification relies on standard water cycle terminology and logical progression between evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
